Symptoms of a failing throttle position sensor might include:
Irregular idle
Fast idle speed
Engine is slow to return to idle speed
Hesitation when depressing the accelerator
General poor engine performance
The ECM, engine control module, uses the throttle position sensor to know when the throttle has moved. If the ECM doesn't know accurately where the throttle is it won't know how much fuel to deliver when.
