Ravenwoods Posted Tuesday at 02:33 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:33 PM Is the Throttle Position Sensor built into the Throttle Body or separate? Maybe in subsequent years it was built in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvu Posted Tuesday at 03:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:20 PM 2005 nonturbo should be cable throttle, it should be on the opposite end of the where the cable throttle goes and replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwoods Posted Tuesday at 05:16 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:16 PM My 2005 is nonturbo 2.5 and has the non cable electronic accelator pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted Tuesday at 07:14 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:14 PM I understand it to be that after 2003 no more cables just dreaded fly by wire. All models. Don’t have our 2006 handy but I’m pretty sure it’s on the right side of the throttle body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvu Posted Tuesday at 11:39 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:39 PM oh right, if it's 2.5 electric throttle. the tps is in there but not easily replaceable, you have to adjust the set screw for it and have an ecu data reader. though, i've never heard of a tps failing on those style of throttles. they either completely fail with the motor not working or make a terrible grinding noises if the gears are sheared. the tps part is pretty reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwoods Posted yesterday at 08:12 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 08:12 PM Thanks for the help. The right side of the Throttle body has a plastic attachment, so the Throttle position sensor must be there inside. There is some sort of sensor on the top left. The reason for my question is that my electric accelator pedal was failing,. So I got a new one. I decided to replace the Throttle Position Sensor too and eBay found one that it said fits my car. However the sensor on the top left Throttle body is narrower and doesn't match. Since I replaced the accelator pedal there haven't been any more problems.

The throttle position sensor is built into the actuator. Replacing the sensor means replacing the throttle body. The sensor you're looking at is manifold pressure. Just because an ebay listing says it fits doesn't make it true. Edited yesterday at 09:28 PM by Numbchux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
