I am wondering if I could swap out this stupid app sensor crap for just a regular throttle set like on the eclipse or something similar .. if any ones knows if this possible and could provide me with any info that would be awesome.

 

if you found a throttle body that fits, and just run the cable to that, but then you would probably have to reprogram or fool the ECU...cause there would be some signals missing.

I don't know anyone that's done, it, but it's probably possible...it's just a throttle body, closed is idle, and open means go, there's no magic, it's just getting the ECU on board that might be tricky.

What problems are you having with your APPS?

 

its shot no more life I have done every thing suggested to get a bit more life out of it. ie.. clean undo battery. and unplug ecu and nothing worked. although I am thinking of doing a build on it since the timing belt is due and winter is coming up.. not sure just tired of the issues with this.car

 

If you mean getting rid of the RA electronically controlled throttle? Then no

You would need to do some customizing and buy a stand alone ECU to do that

 

it's been done using a mirage ecu before I'll see if I can dig it up .....

 

lanzer if you can find it ur the man and I woulf be
uch appreciated

pass on that got the sensor today and when u order it its not just the black plug its the whole assembly and therir not cheap

 

no they are not...

 

320 with out shipping but the apps cure the idle issue I was having ..

 

wow, where'd you get it...that's a lot...

 

the only dealership on the west coast that had it in stock I looked on the net and evey one was a 4-10 business day for them to get the part and another day if I did over night shipping

 

mitsubishiparts.net lists it for $188...they are out of WA

 

True. Mitsubishiparts got me the same part for about 188 like crans said. I check them before I ever think about going to a dealership. They jack up the prices on everything. :-/

That is an interesting idea on swapping the throttle body to cut out the APS. I dont really know why they used that system in the first place. It just seems like another piece added to the puzzle thats going to fail. Youd think they would have cut that out when designing the engine, and just left the old style. Oh well.

 

I checked with them and the said a 6 day wait and the car is my daily and the dealer was about an hr away so I went for it but the timing belt part I will get through them
