BWD Throttle Position Sensor
See if this part fits a specific vehicle.
BWD throttle position sensors maintain specific installed outputs to match OE rather than adjustable consolidated designs. The circuits are printed on flexible polyimide film or ceramic-based substrates for excellent dimensional stability and for the prevention of electrical performance drift.

Comments about BWD Throttle Position Sensor:
I used it in my 1999 LS1 trans am, the reason was cause I had a high idle after driving randomly.
The installation was easy like 1-2 mins max.
I have nothing negative about this product, it's a good brand, great product, great price and most all great warranty!

Comments about BWD Throttle Position Sensor:
Selected it for the price, and read prior reviews - but it works just fine in my 2001 Cavalier. 2 Torx screws install, didn't need to remove a lot of junk to get to it. You need to re-use screws from the vehicle,though, as it does not come with any replacements. I'd like to see two new screws included, in case you drop one or if one gets damaged. Sensor mounted quickly and in exact position, I did it in the parking lot at work. It took care of my transmission shifting problem (trac loc light was coming on intermittently).

Q:
Are fuel system adjustments required after installation of the throttle position sensor?Asked on 11/15/2012 by Dave from Lapeer MI1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Yes, the throttle position sensor (TPS) needs to adjusted properly after installation as proper adjustment of the TPS is critical for engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions. An improperly adjusted TPS effects many other inputs and outputs from the ECU (Engine Control Unit), many of which would not even logically point to the TPS.
For compatibility of this part with your vehicle, please provide your vehicle make, model and engine specification.

Q:
where is this part at on this vehicalAsked on 4/14/2012 by danny from cincinnati oh1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE

Q:
Will this part stop it from skippingAsked on 3/17/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle valve butterfly.The sensor is usually a potentiometer, and therefore provides a variable resistance dependent upon the position of the butterfly valve (and hence throttle position).The sensor signal is used by the engine control unit (ECU) as an input to its control system. The ignition timing and fuel injection timing (and potentially other parameters) are altered depending upon the position of the throttle, and also depending on the rate of change of that position. For example, in fuel injected engines, in order to avoid stalling, extra fuel may be injected if the throttle is opened rapidly (mimicking the accelerator pump of carburetor systems).Answered on 3/18/2012 by Vincent from AAP
