Throttle position sensor

This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

Throttle position sensor

Post by Alex Kurdian » Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:14 pm

I have a question, if the throttle position sensor is working (But playing up) and no codes thrown, what symptoms would I be looking for? Taa

The TPS is not something you want to spray carb cleaner into. The IAC, yes.

The IAC, I'll bet is what stdlystdmufn was thinking of. ;)

There is nothing to foul up the TPS internals, except wear.
