Just serviced the TPS it was full of oil and dirt, i cannot find any information on testing and resetting the correct position. Any information i have found on the Zone and Bentley refer to the 3 pin type mine is a 6 pin round plug. I have so far set it so the micro switch clicks when the throttle is nearly closed does any one have any information on the correct setup, the car is a 1985 325i
Thanks

The six pin is for the switchable auto, I believe.
