Throttle Position Sensor
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect electrical connector from Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on throttle body. Note terminal identification. See Fig 1.NOTE: Some models require that vacuum be applied to throttle opener before checking TPS. See TPS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table.
- Insert specified thickness feeler gauge between throttle stop screw and throttle lever and check resistance or continuity. See the TPS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. Replace or adjust TPS if not within specification.
