Best Answer

A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter turn valves. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it completely blocks off the passageway. When the valve is open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn so that it allows unrestricted passage. The position of the disc is effected from outside the valve.

gas butterfly valve is one kind of butterfly valve, the main feature is that all the functions are supported by gas just as the Electric Butterfly Valve which supported by electric.

Were those tps140 go on a Saturn 2001twin cam 24 valve 3.0 liter v6 i looked every were?

The throttle position sensor is a device that signals the position of the butterfly valve of the throttle body. The throttle body is the part that is between the air intake and the intake manifold. Disconnect the air intake from the throttle body then have someone press the accelerator pedal. Watch the butterfly valve open and close as your assistant presses down and lets up on the pedal and you should see the butterfly valve moving. On the end of the rod that passes through the butterfly valve should be a sensor that detects the position of the butterfly valve. THAT is the TPS. There will be an electrical connector.

Disadvantages of butterfly valve?

The use of butterfly valves for control applications is limited to the valve opening range between 30 degrees to 70 degrees. Throttling using butterfly valves is limited to low pressure drop applications. Potential cavitation is a concern when butterfly valves are used. Also possibility of a choked flow is a concern.
