The throttle position sensor monitors how far open the throttle valve (or blade) is open, which is determined by how far down the accelerator pedal has been pushed. The throttle position controls the ...

Certain things are a given in life, especially when it comes to cars. When you put your foot down on the gas pedal, it’s a given that your car will accelerate—until it doesn’t. There can be any number ...

The throttle position sensor (TPS) on a vehicle does just what the name suggests: it measures how far down the gas pedal is depressed. In the days before cars had computers there was no TPS. With the ...

An issue with the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) is one of the most common issues when your car does not accelerate properly. When you put your foot on the accelerator, your car should accelerate ...

The ability to accelerate smoothly down the road and avoid poor acceleration while using an adequate amount of energy is attributed to the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor. The accelerator ...

rusEFI supports electronic throttle body control. Also called drive by wire (DBW), there is no physical cable between the throttle pedal, or pedal position sensor (PPS), and the throttle. The PPS is ...

Magnetic position sensors have been favoured by automotive design engineers over the years, offering resistance to vibration and contamination whilst providing precise and accurate measurement of ...
