Replacing the throttle position sensor on my 93 Ford F150

Hey DonAld, these are not hard to replace..( I do not know which engine you have..it makes a difference!! ).. take a PICTURE of where the current TPS os positioned and located... the radial (adjustment) location IS critical!!..
here is a link to Autozone, ...O'Reilly's, and Advance Auto should have one too..

On the throttle body. Two sensors on it. One is the TPS, directly across from the throttle cables. The other is the idle air control motor. The IAC motor has 4 wires going to it.

You only replace parts that you know how they work &
how to test them

If you do no testing to find a failed part,your replacing a
perfectly good one

OBD Codes have nothing to do with parts replacement

Google your vehicle & look at a picture of the sensor

All tps sensors are on the throttle body

The (TPS) throttle position sensor realizes there is a flooded condition when the operator presses the pedal to the (WOT) wide open throttle position. However, the usual cause is a bad TPS. Replace the TPS, not a difficult job two screws and an electrical plug.

I would clean the idle air control valve its more than likely stuck open.Its located on the throttle body just like the TPS.

what year?

If you have the round cone style filter the MAF sensor will be in the filter housing on the engine side. You should see a wire harness going into the filter housing. The filter housing will need to be disassembled to get at or replace the MAF sensor.

The throttle position sensor will be mounted on the throttle body on the opposite side of there wht throttle cable is attached. It should have a three wire connector attached to it.

The throttle position sensor (TPS) is bad, you'll need to replace it in order to correct his code. The part should run you about $40 or so.

Most likely the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) which controls cold, warm, and AC on idling speeds. Another cause could be the MAP sensor but I'd lean toward the TPS. Best of luck.

p.s. You can bring the car to a service station or auto parts store which features free diagnostic testing which will give you any error codes to lead you in the right direction.

the two bolts that hold the sensor are torqued to 18 inch pounds. other than that it's self adjusted through the ecm

if the throttle position sensor is worn it might cause this to happen also.. it might be getting worn by now too. just a thought ..
