What are the Signs of a Faulty Throttle Position Sensor

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR?
2
Throttle position sensor or butterfly valve
monitors the movement of the throttle plate and
sends out the signals to the power control module
or PCM.
3
It also regulates the movement of the throttle
plate in order to control the air flow to the
combustion chamber of the engine.
4
The engine needs sufficient oxygen to burn the
fuel. So, the throttle position sensor plays a
crucial role in the performance of an engine.
5
Errors in the data provided to the PCM might
adversely affect the power output of the engine.
6
So, such sensors need regular maintenance to work
properly.

SIGNS OF A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
8
TPS monitors the rate of air flow through the
throttle body to the combustion chamber of the
engine.
FUEL CONSUMPTION INCREASES
9
The engine control unit or ECU uses the data
provided by TPS to regulate the fuel injection
system.
10
Inaccurate data might adversely affect the rate
of fuel consumption by the engine.
11
So, if fuel consumption increases suddenly, then
it is a clear sign of a faulty throttle position
sensor.
12
If the ECU finds any kinds of errors in the data
provided by the TPS, then it will turn on the
check engine light.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS
13
Appearance of the check engine light is the first
line of defence against any major mechanical
malfunctions in the engine.
14
Identifying and repairing the problems in time is
the key to keep the engine in working order.
15
ENGINE MISFIRES AND WEAK ACCELERATION
Timing and quantity of fuel injection into the
combustion chamber of a car play an important
role in the power output of an engine.
16
Damaged TPS might fail to regulate the fuel to
air ratio inside the combustion chamber of a car.
17
Presence of a disproportionate amount of fuel to
air ratio inside the combustion chamber might
lead to engine misfire.
18
Moreover, an engine with a faulty TPS might fail
to generate the required amount of acceleration.
19
BOTTOM LINE
20
Sensors used in the car play a vital role in the
performance of a car.
21
Errors in the data provided by TPS might have
significant influence on the performance of a car.
22
So, such errors should be detected and repaired
in time.
