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.

Worked great. Put it on and checked the voltage. Puts out 1 volt at idle and 4.5 at full throttle. Just like it is supposed to.

Q:

CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Yes, the throttle position sensor may be the possible cause of the problem as it directly monitors the position of the throttle. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.Answered on 4/24/2012 by Vincent from AAP
Q:
does this sensor control how the engine idleAsked on 4/21/2012 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.Answered on 4/22/2012 by Vincent from AAP
