What happen a the throttle position sensor goes bad?

The throttle position sensor, TPS, tells the engine control module,ECM where the throttle blade is. It is the primary way that the ECM knows what you want out of the engine. There is a backup system if the TPS fails, but it is not as efficient as the TPS. So what does happen. The engine will not be as responsive to the throttle as it should be. When you accelerate there may be a pause while the ECM realizes what you did. If you let off the of the accelerator the engine may take a few moments to return to idle or may idle rough and have a minor surge. It will ultimately return to idle. The engine will still run, but will be sluggish and lose its pep.

To fix: 1. remove the large rubber intake from throttle body. 2. start engine. 3. spray throttle body cleaner (large amount) inside butterfly area of throttle body as you rev the engine to keep it running. 4. done.
