Sensor-Throttle Position: Installation: 3.7LV-6

The throttle shaft end of throttle body (3) slides into a socket in TPS (4). 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.
