Title: Giving me the needle
Post by: darrsi on 19 June 2013, 06:42:48 pm
I checked my TPS earlier, and the needle shot up to 10,000rpm so i switched off and went back in to work, and borrowed the torx tool ready to sort it out when i got home.


Then as i left work i turned the ignition on and saw the needle stuck at 0rpm, so presumed that was part of the fault.


That's when i noticed the bloody needle has somehow popped under the 0rpm stopper  :'(

Question is, do these clocks come apart for me to get to the needle easily enough?
I haven't got time to look at it tonight but was wondering if anyone could point me (and the needle) in the right direction?

Everyone needs to back away from their tps's  :lol

You'll have to take the clocks off and take the cover off the clock and rotate it back around the other way by hand

No wont cause any problems. Happened on mine once and it just rotated back

So, d'ya think it's popped over/under the stop pin, or simply just dropped clockwise when i turned the ignition off because the 10,000rpm mark is over to the right side?


The engine was ticking over when i took the photo', the needle goes to about the 5 o'clock mark when switched off.

It did a full revolution clockwise. Dont worry about it. It will be fine.

Sorted......i reckon the needle just dropped the right side through sheer gravity when i turned the ignition off as it did it when i had it apart as well.
Before switching off it was at the 10,000rpm TPS error code which is around the 2 o'clock position.
