Throttle Position Sensor: Essential for Engine Performance ?

Why Do You Need It?

This sensor is vital for your car’s fuel efficiency and smooth driving. It monitors how much the throttle is open, sending real-time signals to the engine control unit (ECU). Based on its info, the ECU adjusts the fuel injection and ignition timing, ensuring the engine runs perfectly at all speeds.

How Does It Work?

Mounted to the throttle body, this sensor detects the angle of the throttle plate as you press the gas pedal. It converts these movements into electrical signals. These signals help the ECU calculate the precise air-fuel mixture for acceleration, idling, or cruising.

What If It Fails?

When this part malfunctions, your car may experience rough idling, hesitation, poor acceleration, or even stalling. The "Check Engine" light might turn on, and fuel consumption increases. Prolonged use with a damaged sensor could lead to more serious engine troubles.
