Where are idle control and throttle position sensors located on 2011 Dodge Avenger with a 2.4 engine?

Here's a Autozone link showing you where your crankshaft position sensor is Eric.

most are located on the ft lower part of engine by crankshaft with 2 wires going to it

why no symptoms stated?, or DTCs (so we can be on the same page?)
the car has and FSM that covers all this.
or alldata.com
there is no idle sensor.
there are many sensors but idle is not one of them.
the Engine runs and will not run with bad cam and crank sensors
these 2 sensor, derive , RPM. and idle speed, is adjusted all the time
based on those 2 sensors
then the PCM controls idle via the ISC< the idle speed control valve.
its a valve. it controls idle air supply.
my guess is the engine stalls.
or races fast and has lack of power.
and the CEL lamp in the dash glows and is screaming for you to scan the PCM? right? and you did not?
if you did it will have DTCs warning you of idle related failures.
pure.
or as any mech knows, idle is the LAST thing to work right.
if the engine runs bad, idle can fail.
the ecu controls idle at all times, if it can't we do test to find out which is it?
On newer cars, there are up to 4 (count them) 4 TPS sensors.
2 on the right foot throttle and 2 in the throttle body.
if any of the 4 dont agree, the CEL glows and the DTC get stored.
telling you that this Happened, not looking and scanning the PCM
you miss all those facts.
in most new cars if that happens the PCM goes to limphome mode
so engine power is greatly limited, after all the idle is out of control
and no car maker wants to be TOYOTA (read the news)

how to , is covered in the FSM, buy one,
and at alldata.com
in some cases it takes a dealer TOOL to re-learn the idle controls.
that fact is there too.

and warning 2, some TPS can not be changed,
you must buy a whole new throttle body.
other cars, like, my new jeep its a new idle; and throttle motor.

You car has throttle by wire, you need to learn how this works first.
then fix the car.

double posted. i see your working backward. now (backup one post)
why not scan the PCM,. or at least post the DTCs/ reported.????
why not< are you working on this car blind, no scantool? FAIL ! you will says YODA.!
and again no symptoms, why not post the symptoms a guessing with TBW is very very $$$$$$$$
TBW = throttle by wire.
The part will take a factory quick learn if replaced. TB

2.4L
the TPS is mounted to the TB< the throttle body
what is a throttle body , its that big thing on the intake pipe
that has a butterfly valve inside that allows all air to enter the engine.
it is the actual THROTTLE. its electric motor evacuated.
the TPS can NOT be bought. its INTEGRTATED to motor and body..
DTCS"
go this ?
P060E-ETC LEVEL 2 TPS PERFORMANCE
or
P0124-TPS/APP Intermittent
Theory of operation
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system uses two Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) to monitor the throttle blade position. The Throttle Position Sensors 1 and 2 are located within the Throttle Body assembly. Each sensor has a 5-Volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. Processors are also used to monitor the ETC system data. The processors are located within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Each signal circuit provides the processors with a signal voltage proportional to throttle blade movement. The processors share and monitor data to verify that the indicated TPS calculation is correct.

just cleaning the throttle plate can do wonder.
all cars.
do so key off, or battery minus lug disconnected (per FSM rules)
TPS disagrees is more serious.
the motor can fail, or the valve stick or the TPS can lie.
that is about all there is, unless it fails for foot TPS angles.
but all that is found out scanning.
no scan information you will fail
no FSM, fail too. the fsm covers the tests step by step.


last , the free look online.

this is all that comes off the TB.
not much. ( no TPS, sorry)

and is very expensive. $200
want to do that on a wild guess?
clean it ,
fixed now?
no? then do the relearn by the book
fixed, now>?

check for vacume leak, if the check engin light is on have it scaned
throttle position sensor could be causing the problem but most likely its the idle air controll motor stuck fully open located on the thottle body not bad to replace held on by 2 torks hed srews

turn key on and start car,let it die and check for fuel pressure ,find fuel line and remove cap that looks like valve stem for tire,press neddle un derneth ,probly have no fuel,if so repace fuel filter and pump.try to spray brake cleane in throttle body after it dies if it will run on brake kleen you have no fuel,replace pump and filter.

The throttle position sensor needs to be replaced. That will cure your problems.

Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor OPERATION The IAC motor is mounted to the throttle body and is operated by the engine controller. The throttle body has an air control passage that provides air for the engine at idle (when the throttle plate is closed). The IAC motor pintle protrudes into the air control passage and regulates air flow through it. Based on various sensor inputs, the engine controller adjusts engine idle speed by moving the IAC motor pintle in and out of the air control passage. The IAC motor is positioned when the ignition key is turned to the ON position.


OPERATION Found on V6, V8 and V10 engines, the intake manifold air temperature sensor is a variable, thermister type which reacts to temperature changes. In cold air, its resistance is high. As temperatures increase, its resistance decreases.

The sensor element itself extends into the intake manifold air stream to provide input voltage to the engine controller. This signal is used along with signals from other sensors by the engine controller to determine the fuel injector pulse width.

Sounds like your idle air control valve is bad. This valve, like it sounds, controls the idle on your vehicle and from what you make it sound like you are having idle issues. The IAC is located on your throttle body and is pretty easy to change out. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

Sounds like the electric fuel pump in the tank has a intermittent fault.
