Throttle Position Sensor: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Viper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The TPS is attached to the throttle body. See Figure.
The throttle shaft end of the throttle body slides into a socket in the TPS. See Fig 1. When indexed correctly, the TPS can rotate a few degrees to line up the mounting screw holes with the screw holes in the throttle body. If the sensor will not rotate into place, install the sensor with the throttle shaft on the other side of the socket tangs. The TPS has slight tension when rotated to align the mounting holes.
