Throttle Position Sensors

Throttle position sensors (TPS) are critical components that monitor the position of the throttle plate or butterfly valve in the engine's throttle body. They provide valuable information to the engine control unit (ECU) to determine the appropriate amount of air & fuel mixture to deliver for efficient combustion & engine performance. The TPS operates on a voltage signal, which changes as the throttle plate position changes. This signal is used by the ECU to adjust the fuel injection timing, ignition timing, & other engine parameters. A properly functioning TPS ensures smooth & responsive acceleration, idle stability, & overall drivability. However, if the TPS malfunctions or becomes faulty, it can lead to issues like poor throttle response, hesitation, rough idle, or even engine stalling. Regular inspection & maintenance of the TPS, including cleaning & calibration, are necessary to ensure accurate throttle position readings & reliable engine operation. In case of a faulty TPS, it is important to replace it with a compatible & high-quality sensor to maintain optimal performance & fuel efficiency.
