Installation - 4.0L

The TPS is mounted to the throttle body.

The throttle shaft end of throttle body slides into a socket in the TPS (Fig 1 ). The TPS must be installed so that it can be rotated a few degrees. (If sensor will not rotate, install sensor with throttle shaft on other side of socket tangs). The TPS will be under slight tension when rotated.
