2003 3.4L TPS 4-Prong

so this is my first time posting, but I've been following these forums for years now.

Anyway, I've been having the dreaded Throttle Position Sensor issue for a couple months now (2003 Tacoma XtraCab 3.4L V6 PreRunner TRD with 4-Prong TPS) and it's getting really bad. I changed out a ton of stuff in hopes it would fix it, but no dice. Is there anybody on here that has one for sale? I know some people sourced from overseas and were selling the extras on E-Bay. If not, I'm looking to source it myself and will have a few extras to sell. Not trying to make a profit here, I just don't want to have to buy the whole TB, and would be happy to help out others. Any advice from people who have done this would be appreciated!

 

is yours like mine, the "drive by wire" set up?

 

you can actually find a used TB on sites for around $100-130 complete. Remember that the 00-02 4Runner is the same ECTS TB as the 03-04 Tacoma.

 

If you do source just the TPS, depending on price, I'm down for one. I've found information on another site that stated the part number for this is 89452-35030--but I have yet to verify on mine. I def have the 4-pronger though.

 

Hammer are you saying the TPS from those 4Runners is the same? I tried the 01-02 part for the Tacoma and it was a different TPS. Part number was the same but it rotated counter-clockwise while the 03 rotates clockwise. I'll keep updating if I manage to get my hands on the right thing... I don't really know what the heck else to do! Anybody have success in a junkyard? I'm in Hawaii so there are tons of Tacos but not many junkyards

 

03-04 Tacoma, 01-02 4Runner have the same TPS. 02 and lower Tacoma is different.

 

Frizz thanks! I'll check it out!

 

Does the drive by wire like on my '03 have a Throttle Body Sensor to replace?

 

who is this overseas source? i may want one

 

Incorrect. The 02 4-runner TPS has 3 prongs( I just looked it up on rockauto, autozone and orielly's ). The 03-04 Tacoma's has a four prong.

 

Incorrect.
autozone and oreillys are wrong.

2001 and 2002 4runners have four prong

 

Ok what are the part numbers for the 4 runner 4 prong?

 

beats me.

i only know theyre hard to find and only way to get them from toyota is to buy the whole throttle body

 

I'm trying to get it from distributors on Ailibaba... desperate times... but if anybody can clear up the 4Runner stuff that would be great, everything I saw online was 3 prong

 

four prong for 2001 and 2002.

pic of mine for your viewing pleasure

 

I'll give you $100 for it

 

That is good and all. What is the part number?

 

i dont know

 

It is on the TPS.

 

i know.

in order for me to get to it, i need to take stuff apart.

too busy and its too late.
