Does anyone know if this TPS (Mercury part number 821664) would work in a 2001 Challenger Mercury 240 EFI??

Thank you for the assistance. I will post results as soon as I can. Thanks again for the direction.

warning lamps illuminate and I hear an electronic beep, no horn though.

I don't have the test harness. I do have a good electrical ohms meter. Could someone please ELI5 and walk me through each procedure of testing the crank trigger and TPS. I have been having issues with warm re-restarts, excessive smoke and poor fuel consumption. I have a 2001 Challenger 1800...

hey kids, guess who removed the VST took it apart and replaced EVERY o-ring in it??.... this guy did. $11.24 was the cost and my free labor.... no leaks, all is good and I can't wait to take her out for a spin. this o-ring was the leaky culprit....

ok, thanks for the assistance. I'm getting quite good at removing the VST....

I tried that, it shrunk a little, but doesn't fit perfect. Any other suggestions??...

ok, the gasket came in and it's too big. How can I shrink this gasket a few millimeters without ruining it??

Polk Audio DB651 6.5"/6.75" 2-Way Marine Certified is what I put in my 2001 Challenger. They sound great.
