What does a throttle switch on a 350 banshee do?
The switch is to limit the engine RPM if the throttle sticks wide open.
What does code p0121 mean?
code po121 means Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem . it is usually indicative of a faulty throttle position sensor or faulty wiring harness in the engine bay.
Where is the throttle position switch on a 1993 F250 with a 5 L engine?
on the bottom of the throttle body
What is a throttle performance switch for an 87 corvette?
Basically, these throttle performance switches change the value that your throttle position sensor gives the ECU. This, in effect, leads your car's computer to believe that it is reaching wide open throttle sooner. How can you do this without buying a throttle performance switch? Just put your foot to the floor faster! No matter what the manufacturer might claim, your car won't make any more power than it did before you installed the switch, you'll just feel it sooner.
What is the difference between a throttle position sensor and a throttle position switch?
A TPS is a variable resistor that tells the engine computer the absolute throttle opening percentage. A switch tells the system when the throttle is wide open for enrichment purposes.
What is a engine temperature cooling switch?
The engine temperature cooling switch helps regulate the engine's temperature. Teemed with the radiator and incoming air, this keeps the engine at its optimal performance temperature.
What are common fixes to a po121 code on a 2001 jeep Cherokee?
P0121 - Throttle Pedal Sensor Switch "A" Circuit Range/Performance. Most common fix is to replace the Throttle position sensor.
Where is the stop switch on a Briggs and Stratton mower engine?
If the mower has a shift knob control for "Start" "Run" and 'Stop', the kill switch will be on the end of the cable that leads to the throttle bracket. If the mower has the safety handle that shuts off the mower when it is not depressed, the kill switch will be at the end of the cable that leads from the handle to the engine. If the mower is operated with an on-off ignition switch, the kill switch wire will be spliced to the switch "off" wire some where between the throttle cable and the switch.
Where is throttle pedal position switch b on your 2000 Saturn sl 2?
The throttle position sensor is on the throttle body. That's the part of the engine that controls the amount of air allowed into the engine. To find the throttle body, follow the air intake routing toward the engine. The throttle body is the part that sits on the intake manifold. To find the throttle position sensor, follow the throttle cable to the throttle body. If it helps, have someone press down and release the throttle pedal while you're looking for the throttle body/position sensor. The throttle cable causes a shaft to turn, that's the part that controls the air coming into the engine. The throttle position sensor is connected to that shaft.
Where is the Throttle positioning sensor on a Kia Sorento?
Remove the engine shroud and locate your air intake on the left hand (passenger) side of the engine. Follow the intake to the point that it connects to the throttle body. Directly behind this connection between the throttle body and the firewall you will find the throttle position sensor. The electrical clip has a housing on it that needs to be removed before you can remove the switch. Remove the engine shroud and locate your air intake on the left hand (passenger) side of the engine.

Why is there no throttle response when the check engine light comes on?
My friend is having the same problem. After some research, I've come down to it being related to the idle switch on the pedal assembly. The switch is there because your throttle is electronically controlled and the switch is a canceller. If you release the throttle but the throttle position sensor is messed up and saying that there is a throttle input the truck will try to keep revving. So the idle switch cancels any signal that is being put out by the throttle position sensor. If the Idle switch sticks, it will cancel out your input into the throttle pedal. So when you want to go, the idle switch thinks that your still in idle mode. In a nut shell, people are saying that you need to replace the throttle pedal assembly. It's relatively easy, kind of expensive though. About $220.
