The TPS for the 1.6 miata engine is either on (full throttle) or off. There is no in-between. Can I use this TPS, if so how?

Is there a TPS sensor that would replace the sensor on the early 1.6lt Miata throttle plate. A sensor that would be like a potentiometer instead of a switch like the stock TPS.

Look for a '93 (and possibly other years) 1.6 Miata with an automatic transmission - these used a potentiometer type TPS. The stick shift ones still had the switch type. Not sure if you can swap sensors or need to swap the whole throttle body.

Thank you, Lance and Matt, for your info on the early Miata TPS.

I think he needs the whole throttle body.
