My Haynes repair manual shows : It senses throttle movement and position , then transmits a voltage signal to the PCM . This signal enables the PCM to determine when the throttle is closed , in a cruise position , or wide open . A defective TPS can cause surging , stalling , rough idle and other driveability problems because the PCM thinks the throttle is moving when it is not .
