Does anyone know if the 1983 NA and Turbo use the same TPS. I have a Bosch Fuel injection book that they are different. I am looking to buy a new one for my '83 turbo engine without any luck. Any help here will be appreciated

The n/a TPS has 3 contacts: idle, off idle, full throttle (cuts a/c compressor).
The turbo TPS has 2 contacts: idle, off idle.

So, you can use the n/a TPS on the turbo, but not the turbo on the n/a.

Thanks Nismo. I'm in the process of doing the '80 NA to '83 Turbo swap and have removed all the wiring from the 1983. The car was totaled about 12 years ago and sat outside the PO home exposed to the weather for all that time. He did remove the engine and kept it in his garage, however almost all of the plastic on the car had disintegrated. After purchasing the car I installed the engine onto a wooden gig in my garage and cleaned all of the connections with electrical contact cleaner and hooked up all wiring, the gas tank and fuel pump where I can start the engine. The fuel pump runs for 5 sec. then shuts off and the engine will start but I can only get it to run for about 2 min. then it acts like its misfiring and shuts down. When I check the plugs, #1 #2 and #5 gets fouled as though those cylinders are running rich but the rest are ok. I've checked the compression and all are between 145-149 and all cylinders are getting a good spark..Any clues on what could be causing this?
