Throttle Position Sensor: Service and Repair

REMOVAL


Throttle Position Sensor:





1. Disconnect the Throttle Position (TP) sensor from the wiring harness.
2. Remove the two TP sensor retaining screws and remove the sensor from the vehicle.





INSTALLATION


1. Install the sensor, ensuring that the rotary tangs on sensor are in proper alignment and that the red seal is inside the connector housing.

CAUTION: Slide rotary tangs into position over the throttle shaft blade, then rotate the TP sensor CLOCKWISE to installed position. Failure to install the TP sensor in this manner may result in excessive idle speeds.

2. Install the retaining screws and tighten them to 14 in lb (1.5 N-m).
3. Connect the wiring connector to the TP sensor.

NOTE: The TP sensor is not adjustable.
