Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensor(TPS) used in cars that gathers information on throttle positions (throttle valve position) to determine how much air goes into the engine and allow engine control unit to make adjustments according to operating conditions. It is located on the throttle body and operated by rotation of the throttle spindle or shaft. The throttle position sensor works as an input tool that sends signals to the engine control unit. The sensor works around certain parameters and sends the corresponding signals to the engine control unit.
The most common types of TPS are switch types and the potentiometer. The switch type TPS is said to be 'on' when there is electrical continuity and if there is any interruption in the electric flow the switch is 'off' but continues to send inputs to the car's computer. The potentiometer type of TPS works by gradually increasing the power supply to the computer and sending constant signals to it. When you find your TPS not functioning properly you need to replace it at the earliest. You can find them in good quality at Buy Auto Parts.
