The S4 TPS is a narrow range only. The S5 uses both a narrow range and a fullrange. Chances are the narrow range is the problem. If you do a little bit of re-wiring and swap the connectors it should work.

If you move the throttle you should be able to see which one loses contact with the TB linkage first. That's the narrow range. I believe that all of the wires are the same color, at least for TII's.

If it doesn't work I have a S5 TPS we could make a deal for.

ok i got the tps and looked at the wires and the colors all match up. but before i start cutting and soldering is there a way to test it (i.e. with a multi-meter) to find out if it works?

It needs to be connected to the ECU to see if it's within spec.

Make sure everything is adjusted properly.
