Jaguar XJS Mustang TPS Sensor Mount

prusaprinters

I've modified the design compared to the first iteration that I installed on my car, so this should work fine, but I'm including the STEP file if it needs modified, since I don't want to go through the trouble of printing another and installing it.I designed this so that you can use the factory 3 mounting holes like the factory sensor, and so you don't have to drill new mounting holes or epoxy the mustang sensor to your throttle pedestal assembly, this way you can later remove the sensor if you wish and have an unmodified pedestal.The Mustang sensor is non-adjustable, so I didn't see the need in printing slots to adjust it, just check your position via a multimeter before you install it to make sure you're good to go. I used PN#ECC1046 from Advance Auto Parts, which is about $20 if you order online with a coupon, or just ask for a TPS for an early 90's 4 cylinder Foxbody from your parts store/junkyard of choiceInstallation:Install this in place of your old sensorUse your modified mustang sensor and place it into the hole, with the wiring side pointing rearwards/towards the firewallPlug/wire it in and test the voltages with a multimeter to make sure the sensor is functioning correctlyMark your position on the printed piece with a marker, remove throttle pedestal from carEpoxy (I used JB Weld) the Sensor to the printed piece in the position you marked earlier. You may need a clamp to hold it in place, I recommend at least overnight if not longer depending on your epoxy.Reinstall onto carThere's several forum posts detailing the Mustang sensor install, feel free to follow those guides, only difference with this is you're mounting it to the printed piece instead of directly to the pedestal. I also recommend, assuming you're getting the sensor from or are near a junkyard, getting the OEM Connector/pigtail for the sensor. It's weathertight and works much better than the triple spade connectors, and you can just attach the pigtail to the wiring from the old sensor so it looks like a factory job. It's a Ford 3 pin weatherpack connector, I grabbed mine from a 90's Ford Ranger throttle body, any 90's Ford should at least have a couple of thesePrint SettingsPrinter Brand:CrealityPrinter: Ender 3 ProRafts:NoSupports: NoResolution:Doesn't MatterInfill: Doesn't MatterFilament: Generic PETG  Notes: I used PETG for the slight heat advantage over PLA and the oil/gas resistance. Any material should work, but something to keep in mind.   Category: Automotive
