It is on the side of the throttle body opposite the throttle cable.
It is located on the throttle body, opposite side of where the throttle cable is attached.
The throttle position sensor is on the throttle body.
According to my factory service manual the voltage at the throttle position sensor should vary from about 0.5 volts in the idle position to 5.0 volts in the wide open throttle position.
The idle speed is read by the Engine Control Module(computer) and adjusted as necessary by use of the idle air control in conjunction with the throttle position sensor. There is no separate idle sensor as such.
its either a vacume pipe leak or in my case a bad throttle position sensor
The MAP sensor on a 1987 Chevy Celebrity is mounted to the firewall near the right fender.
Possibly the throttle position sensor has failed.
It is on the air intake housing straight across from where the accelerator cable hooks up.
1987
It is in the throttle body.
Its on the throttle body, back side (firewall side). Its on the passenger side of the car, where the plastic intake from the air filter hooks on to the aluminum part. Mine has a gold finish, and is a small round 'can' shape. Here is the fun part, it is riveted on to the throttle body, and is not intended for 'backyard' replacement. I haven't been able to find one for sale (haven't checked with the dealer yet), the aftermarket parts stores tell me I need to buy the entire throttle body, not just the sensor. Its also been referred to as a throttle angle sensor. When I had my 87 Honda in for service for a different problem, they said my PGM-FI light was on because of a bad throttle position sensor. I am still driving it howerver. I notice it stumbles a little on acceleration, perhaps this is why, I don't know. I found a used throttle body on the internet for $154. I don't know yet if that includes the throttle position sensor or not.
no
