Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Replace the TPS sensor, throttle position sensor, which is located right here on the throttle body. Going to unclip the electrical connector, pull it out, and put that aside.
There are two T20 torque screws on either side of this. You need to remove those. A little tricky to get in here. It's taking a longer extension and it's not quite straight on but it should work, because the coolant hose is a little bit soft. I can squish down into it. Ratchet in here. Reach in and grab it with my fingers so I don't drop it. Pull it out. It's a little screw. I'll put that aside so I don't lose it. Got a different linked extension.
I'm trying to get to the bolt that's underneath. Now that it's loose I just pull it out with my fingertips and put that aside. Without the screws connecting it, with the harness out of the way, I grab the sensor. That should come right out of the throttle body. There it is. It does have a key way to it. We'll make sure when we install the new one, it goes on the same way.
Here's your original throttle position sensor or TPS sensor from our vehicle. This is our brand new one from 1AAuto.com. It's an exact match. The same little key way in here. New little O ring seal, two bolt holes, same style connector, so it'll fit great and take care of any throttle position sensor problems you're having.
While we're installing this, be sure we line up that flat key way with the flat key way on this part here of the throttle body in here. Align it back up. Sit right in the same spot. Install this upper screw. Install the lower screw. Start the threads by just my fingers and then I can switch to the torques bit and ratchet. It's just a very small bolt going into aluminum, so as soon as I feel it get tight I'm just going to stop. Sneak the ratchet and socket into here. The bottom one. Once I feel it get tight I'm just going to stop. Reinstall the electrical connector. Push it in. It'll click. The TPS sensor is replaced.
