Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi pierreandre,

That is good consumption! My fuel smell is still there after replacing the temp sensor. From what I could gather it did not really make a difference. I did reset the car by leaving the negative terminal off for a few hours. But I will only be able to tell when I finish this tank of petrol.

Can you recall what you paid for the TPS?

Thanks!

DrOne,

Maybe this thread has some value.

The smell and the high consumption both feature in this thread.

The TPS is quite expensive, I think around R750. I believe Marius Fourie (4epikanini) had some success by cleaning the TPS. Perhaps you should try that before replacing.

I didn't clean mine. I just adjusted/reset it according to the FSM.

Note : Mine was a 3.0 12valve V6 - with distributor.
