Title: What are the Signs of a Faulty Throttle Position Sensor in the Car
1WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR IN THE CAR?
2Needless to say that, the internal combustion
engine needs a sufficient amount of air for the
complete combustion of the fuel.
3Combustion of one liter of fuel needs about
fourteen liters of oxygen inside the engine of a
car.
4Modern car engine uses different types of sensors
to work efficiently. The primary job of a
throttle position sensor or TPS is to monitor the
position of the throttle valve.
5Throttle valve allows the flow of air into the
combustion chamber of the car.
6Output provided by TPS to the engine control unit
(ECU) helps to regulate the injection of fuel and
air into the combustion chamber of the engine.
7Malfunctions in such an important sensor might
have adverse impacts on the performance of a car.
8SIGNS OF A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
9CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES
10Any kind of error in any type of sensors in a car
would trigger the check engine light.
11Finding the root cause behind the illumination of
check engine light is a little bit difficult, but
it is really necessary to detect and fix the
problem in time.
12The condition of different types of sensors
including TPS should be inspected immediately.
13THE ENGINE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE
14The ECU uses the inputs provided by TPS to
regulate the fuel to air ratio inside the
combustion chamber of the engine.
15However, a faulty TPS could not provide the right
set of information required by the ECU to
regulate the fuel to air ratio.
16Injection of an insufficient amount of fuel or
air into the combustion chamber might adversely
affect the power output of an engine.
17Efforts should be made to fix such problems in
time.
18THE ENGINE COULD MISFIRE
19Injection of an excess amount of air or fuel into
the combustion chamber might lead to engine
misfiring.
20Errors in the TPS might lead to engine misfiring.
21So, early warning signs of a failed TPS should
not be neglected and efforts should be made to
fix such problems.
22BOTTOM LINE
23TPS plays an important role in the performance of
an engine.
24Any kinds of mechanical or electrical errors in
such an important sensor might have disastrous
consequences.
25So, timely action is required to fix such
problems.
