X64v Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 You can use the sensor ground for the braided outer shield. Find some cable with two inner conductors, and use one for power, the other for the signal. Put the capacitor at the sensor between power and ground. That's basically what I'm doing, but with a single inner conductor connected to the signal pin, the outer braid connected to the ground pin, and the power pin is its own separate wire.

z-ya Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I would also run the power through the shield as well. Otherwise you are putting a big antenna on you 5V logic supply. This will pick up all sorts of engine room noise an potentially put it on the 5V supply inside the MS. This is why all factory TPS wiring shields the TPS signal and the TPS reference voltage inside the braided ground. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 He is not running the sensor of a 5 volt supply. These sensor can handle anything up to 25 volts. He is running the sensor of a sanctioned 12V supply inside the MS unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
