Over time the accuracy and consistency of the TPS can deteriorate to the point where the car will not operate properly.
The contacts points inside can corrode and wear and the resultant voltage output will not be a smooth curve.
If you test it and the voltage is jumpy, it's likely it needs replacing.
The TPS is a key component to your vehicle¡¯s ability to monitor the position of the throttle.
It functions by sending a signal to the engine control unit (ECU) so the vehicle¡¯s engine management can maintain proper engine function.
A bad or malfunctioning throttle position sensor will often cause a check/service engine light, error codes, loss of power, and or poor/erratic engine speeds.
So Restore proper throttle to your vehicle with this new direct replacement Throttle Position Sensor.
