Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mercury Sable, 1994 Mercury Cougar, 1994 Lincoln Continental, 1994 Ford Thunderbird, and 1994 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
TP sensor monitors throttle plate opening. Its signal to the PCM is proportional to throttle plate opening angle. The TP sensor signal affects air/fuel ratio, injector timing, idle speed, EGR flow and ignition timing. The TP sensor is mounted on throttle body, at throttle plate rod.
