It was very loose. It pulled right out of that socket and stuck to the motor prong. Not supposed to do that. I buttoned everything up and fired it up. Seems normal so far. I just did a few laps around town. I have a slight acceleration during a slow roll, coming to a stop, or backing up, but it settles down. If it doesn't self adjust I will have my mechanic do the idle relearn. I'm still on pins and needles but I am hoping to hell this is fixed now.
Did the old tps have a crack in the plastic?
No I don't see any. Have you seen or heard of that before? I know you got to make sure to line up the slot to the butterfly shaft correctly or that will really fk things up. In those pics i posted see the slot in the switch the shaft goes into? Notice how the new one was not the same orientation? I used a small screwdriver to match the position of the old one. With the silver prong sides to the top and left and the plastic parts to the right and down. And paid close attention when assembling that the shaft slid into that groove properly and the electrical tabs as well.
Just one with 1415 series u-joints that almost would fit (1.81" longer) ours if so equipped. 15109398. Nevermind, that one was discontinued too.
So round trip travel time was about 40 minutes?
Basically just look at those areas on your radiator support that has holes that push fittings can snap into. I keep this kit on hand, it handles most of the fittings on the truck.
