Disected V6 Throttle Body
I need a little help, I bought an 05 Mustang V6 65mm throttle body in hopes of making it work on my platform, which also uses drive-by-wire. I need some pin-outs and wiring diagrams of the connectors on this throttle body and what they actually do.
On the Mazda unit, the Throttle Position Sensor not only does its job, but also provides the power to the unit. On the Mustang unit, the TPS unit looks like a carry-over from previous years as it is on the opposite end, just slipped onto the shaft. There is a two-pin connector at the opposite end of the throttle body that appears to power the internals of the throttle body.
Anyway, I have taken it apart and put it back together and for those wondering what it looks like on the inside, it's nothing that impressive:
Should be able to use that adjustment bolt to change the idle as it controls how much the top yellowish cog comes back. Which can be good for those drag racing/bracket racing your V6s.
