new throttle position sensor

njesper · June 12, 2012, 08:08:02 PM

Hi all,

My father in law, has a renault alpine v6 gt with a 3l 12v v6 from an espace (parden the blasphemy

) and the tps (throttle position sensor) has gone bad.
So he has been looking for a new sensor/replacement, but its been impossible. He has tried contacting Renault Denmark, the renault club etc. and nobody can help him on where to get a new one, so then I came to think of the espace part on the matra forum.

The data is: z7x-775 Solex tps.

Does anybody know where to get one like this (after market, whatever..)

Best regards,

Jesper Colding

All Espace have fuel injection

fuel injection, yes... but it still has a tps doesnt it?
And yes, my father in law has also tried simon with no luck.

dono i will check, anyways he's not seeking a used one. A new or new identical (for use on another engine, with same specs)

Yes I appreciate he is after new, The no. on it (0 280 122 009) looks to be a bosch part no. you should be able to get it from a bosch. I have the bosch software on another computer, when I have a min I will look it up.

If the Solex carbs incl tps is taken from Alpine GT (D503) you should be looking for a R25 tps with part no 7701035404 - that is the one fitted on D503 with Z7X 744 engine

Did anyone at Renault even try to check availability with a part number ? My impression is that Renault have a good system for special ordering of parts if the part is no longer in stock, but that requires a special order from your dealer!
