July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

TPS, mounted on the injection pump, is a variable resistor monitoring throttle opening angle for the ECM. The sensor is connected to a 5-volt reference signal and has a high resistance value when throttle is closed. At wide open throttle, the TPS resistance value is low and output to the ECM will be near 5 volts.
