This little guy’s job is pretty simple, actually. It measures how far down you’re pressing the gas pedal. It basically tells your engine computer exactly how much air you want flowing in, and that determines how much fuel the computer sends to make the engine run. It sends a signal – an electrical voltage, specifically – that changes as you open and close the throttle. Some newer ones are more complex, but the basic idea is still the same. It's a key part of the fuel injection system. Your engine computer uses the information from the throttle position sensor, along with data from other sensors, to figure out the right air/fuel mixture for efficient combustion. It affects everything from idle speed to acceleration and overall engine performance. Think of it like a translator between your foot and the engine. It’s not the engine's brain, but it's providing vital information to the brain. A failing throttle position sensor can cause a lot of problems. You might notice hesitation when you accelerate, rough idling, stalling, or even the engine just not responding properly when you step on the gas. Sometimes it might throw a check engine light. It really impacts drivability. It’s one of those parts where you'll notice if it’s going bad—the car just won’t run right. They don’t always last forever, and they can get dirty or worn out over time. We carry a good selection here, and you can also find them online at places like Fixparts Online if you prefer to look around a bit.
