SOURCE: how to install throttle position sensor 94 buick

locate the throttle body and on the side match your new T.P.S sensor, its usually held on by 2 screws, torx kind, so you might have to buy that screw driver since it is not common. remove and disconnect the old one and install. if its adjustable you need to set it, with a voltmeter. if its not just make sure it engages and slides in fine.

SOURCE: how to change the Throttle positioning sensor TP...

This is a very easy part to change. It has 2 screws and 1 electric connector. One end of the TPS has an elongnated screwhole and the other screwhole is just a hole. At most you may need to use a pair of pliers on the screwdriver to grip the screwdriver better. The screws were put in to stay.

The back of the TPS has a slot which fits on the shaft of the Butterfly flap in the Airhorn. You just fit the slot over the shaft and then everything will be flush to the Airhorn Then tighten the screws, plug in the electric connector and usually you are done. If the idle speed does not seem as high or is higher than before that is what the elongnated screwhole is for. You would loosen both screws and twist the TPS to adjust. There is only slight adjustment possible.

My 94 Explorer with 4.0 engine won't idal when cold start up

Either your throttle position sensor or idle air control valve is shot try stepping on the gas while starting if the engine races then you can bring the rpms down then it stalls the throttle position sensor is N / G because the contact in the idle spot is worn out from regular use and the sensor needs to be replaced ///if you can't do this the idle air control valve is shot

My 02 2.0L XLS Ford Escape is experiencing idle issues. Will not idle unless on the pedal, not consistent then . It is causing lunging in all 5speeds. High RPMs aren't troublesome.Thank you.

I had a similar problem with my ford contour. I replaced my throttle position sensor, that took care of the problem.
With car in ignition turned on, (car not running) check the voltage at the sensor. Should be 5 vdc. The two out side pins is where you check. If I remember the top pin is the positive and bottom is negative. Now you want to check feedback voltage. Put one probe to negative and the other to the middle pin. With throttle plate closed it should read around .5 volts (I've also seen people adust them to .94 volts). Check specs for your car. Now move throttle plate you should see the increase of voltage .5 to 5 volts max. Keep an eye on your meter to see if ther is any flats spots in the sensor. Meaning no voltage reading. Move to the open position slowly, you should see a steady increase of voltage no jumping around.if there is it needs to be replaced.

What does a throttle positioning censor for an 05 ford focus look like

I suggest you google 05 ford focus throttle positioning sensor. This sensor keeps you air intake throttle at the proper position when the engine is cold and changes position when the engine has warmed up. to locate the sensor, remove the hose that comes from the air filter housing to the engine. the hose you removed was connected to the air throttle. you can manipulate the position of this throttle by having someone push the gas pedal down slowly while you watch the throttle move. notice that the gas pedal cable is connected to the mechanism that opens and closes the air throttloe. also notice that beside this mechanism, you have an electric throttle positioning sensor. Pay close attention to the existing throttle positioning sensor before you remove it if you are planning on replacing this sensor. because if you do not install the new sensor in the same degree that the old one was in, you will throw the calibration off. word of advice. buy some throttle cleaner from your local auto parts. turn the car on with the air filter to throttle body hose off and have someone push the gas pedal down slightly to keep the engine from turning off. spray the throttle body cleaner til all the black crud comes off the inside of the throttle body. this dirty crud is what was making your throttle stick and not working properly.

Where is the trottle position senser located on my 1995 Ford F-250

The throttle position sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
Follow the big hoses from the air filter housing back to the engine and the first part on the engine you come to...... is the throttle body.

Buy the throttle position sensor first and match it to the part on the throttle body to identify the part you want to change.
