Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Ford Aspire. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect TP sensor wiring harness connector. Rotate throttle to wide open position. Measure resistance between terminals "A" and "B". See Fig 1 . Resistance should be about 5 ohms.
  2. Rotate throttle to closed position. Again, measure resistance between terminals "A" and "B". See Fig 1 . Resistance should be about 1 ohm. If resistance is not as specified, loosen TP sensor screws. Adjust TP sensor until resistance is within specification.
