Throttle Position Sensor: Service and Repair

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.
3. Install the sensor, ensuring that the tab on the throttle shaft and the slot in the sensor are aligned.
CAUTION: Slide slot 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.
4. Install the retaining screws and tighten them to 14-16 lbs. in. (1.5-1.8 N-m).
5. Connect the wiring connector to the TP sensor.
NOTE: The TP sensor is not adjustable.
