Common questions
What does a throttle position sensor (TPS) do?
A TPS detects the throttle opening angle and sends this data to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM then uses this information to calculate the correct fuel injection and ignition timing for optimal engine performance.
How do I know if my TPS is bad?
Common symptoms of a faulty TPS include a rough or inconsistent idle, engine hesitation or surging during acceleration, poor fuel economy, or a 'check engine' light. It's best to have diagnostic codes read to confirm the issue.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is an SMP OEM-quality replacement sensor. SMP engineers their parts to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for fit, form, and function.
