Where is the throttle position sensor located how do i know if it is bad and how do i replace it 1997 toyota camry 2.2l 4cylinder
Hello
At the point where the air intake hose is connected to the engine is a part called the "throttle body". the TPS is attached to the outside of the throttle body. See picture below.
The sensor is mounted on the side of the throttle body.
A mechanic would check the resistance in the range of operation with a VOM. The computer sends a voltage signal to the sensor and how open the throttle is makes the sensor return signal different.
SOURCE: on a 04 camry with 2.4 ltr engine, can I replace
I think the terms "Throttle Positon Sensor", TPS and "Throttle Body" can be misleading at least in regards to the 04 Camry.
My 04 Camry gave a diagnostic reading of P2121 for my problem "Throttle PEDAL position switch D circuit". However, we changed out the complete Throttle Body/TPS (Toyota Part #22030-0H020) that did NOT fix problem.
The 04 Camry TPS Electronic Module "Throttle Positon Sensor" is factory assembled and riveted to the side of the throttle body. The only way to service/inspect it would be to cut off or drill out the rivets. Not sure you could open the darn thing if you got it off, but that seems to be the only way Toyota sells them!!
Hopefully a new Throttle PEDAL Position Sensor (Toyota Part # 78010-33010 PEDAL ASSY, ACC)
will fix it. This is located under the dash near the accelerator pedal.
So, now I would recommend FIRST to replace the "Throttle PEDAL Positon Sensor" (it is much, much cheaper) and then the Throttle Body/TPS assembly!! Unless of course, you get a diagnostic code as you did for "faulty throttle body!!
SOURCE: Need to locate knock sensor on 1999 camry V6. Where is located.

SOURCE: My 2001 Toyota Camry will not accelerate. The
i would not just go buy a tps on a guess
first check to see if you can bring the throttle up by hand at the motor where the throttle cable connects to the throttle body it may be a cable that broke
Testimonial: "Yes it does move and appears to be ok."
