what doesTROTTLE POSITION SENSOR do?

Answer 1

the Throttle Position Sensor tells the computer how far the throttle is open so it can calculate airflow, and automatically adjust the fuel flow, and ignition timing.

If a TPS (throttle position sensor) is going bad, you can have a rough or no idle condition, extremely poor acceleration, and many other symptoms.

Answer 2

The TPS(Throttle Position Sensor) works in conjunction with the MAP(Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor or MAF(Mass Air Flow) sensor as well as CTS(Coolant Temperature Sensor) and the engine RPM sensor to allow the ECM(Engine Control Module) to regulate the fuel flow to allow maximum performance.
Now your head will be full of letters.

Answer 3

hardship-free restore if thats the situation maximum shops charge 80 to one hundred greenbacks an hour crank and no initiate themes its perfect to get the fault codes b4 changing components and guessing oriellys has a code reader napa could have one yet throttle place sensors typicly have 3 bolts . make effective u get masking tape and positioned around the throttle cables just to mark the positions they got here from on the previous sensor

Answer 4

It simply sends infomation to the ECU (your car's computer).
quite simply it tells the ECU how far open the throttle is. From there the ECU decides what to do. Increase fuel flow, send hotter spark to the plugs, downshift the transmission etc.
Savvy?

Answer 5

It tells the computer where the operator has the pedal at

Answer 6

tells the computer u want to go faster...it tells how much u have pushed accelerator pedal

Answer 7
