Throttle Position Sensor Problems - Solving them.

[dhirocz]

I was taught that all wire repairs should be soldered with a linesman's knot and heat shrinked at a minimum, with adhesive heat shrink used on exterior connections. Butt connectors should be used just to get you from point A to B for a proper repair. I don't see it being much better than twisting together a wire and covering it with electrical tape.

Butt connectors are not sealed connections, can play hell with resistance sensitive circuits, and sometimes come loose due to vibration. They also invite corrosion.
