Throttle Position Sensors

The throttle position sensor moves with the throttle and sends a voltage signal to the computer indicating throttle angle and speed of movement data. The computer uses this data to measure engine load, adjust timing, fuel delivery, EGR, and converter clutch operation, and clear flood mode.

Our Throttle Position Sensors are designed, manufactured, and tested to maintain specific installed outputs to match OE rather than adjustable consolidated designs.
