[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1335472, member: 277"] For clarification I've added this to the post: [COLOR=#800080]Edit to add: The right side pair of wipers go from the bottom of the sensor (idle) up to the top (WOT). The left side goes from the top (idle) to the bottom (WOT). Both right and left resistor tracks had heavy wear from idle to ~40% throttle. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]The right side resistor track was fractionally more worn than the left side resistor track. The conical center pivot pin should keep the wiper force pretty even. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]It would seem that the resistor material needs to be more durable or the wiper less damaging. Because the TPS is used in a motor vehicle there needs to be sufficient force between the wiper and resistor so that NO bounce, jounce, bash or vibration would cause the wiper to bounce off the resistor.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]TPS failures have been common in all vehicles regardless of wheel count but recently I haven't seen as many car TPS go bad.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
