Signs & Symptoms of a Bad Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Are you experiencing erratic engine performance or getting P0120-P0124 engine codes? It could be a sign of a faulty Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). In today’s video, Jake explores the intricacies of the TPS, exploring its function, common symptoms of failure, diagnostic procedures, and effective fixes to restore optimal engine performance. The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a vital component of the engine management system, responsible for monitoring the position of the throttle valve. By providing feedback to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), the TPS ensures precise control over the throttle opening, enabling smooth acceleration and engine operation.

Thank you for sharing the video. It was very insightful to troubleshooting my car issue. I will try the tips you suggested. I changed out the TPS, cleaned the MAF sensor, but the problem didn't go away. I will try to clean the throttle body next.

Really great video thank you! Q: Is there a case where a car has no any accelaration pedal sensor on gas pedal? I have an i30 Hyundai 2008 1,4 and i can not find this out.

Certainly, from a quick search it seems like the I30 uses a cable-operated throttle control system so it wouldn't have an accelerator pedal position sensor.

@@8020Media Thank you very much! Really appreciate ☺ So do you believe that there is a way where i could make the gas pedal more sensitive as it's a little bit lazy right now. Don't know if throttle sensor could change the overall exprerience.

S - No problem! The throttle sensor could certainly change the overall experience. Keep us updated.
I think if I get this code, I'll just replace the throttle body. It's not expensive and my time is too valuable to be doing all of these steps.

Have you tried replace the pcv valve? Also clean throttle or replace idle air control Valve? Also try clean injectors.

I'm going to assume you have at least 150,000 miles on the vehicle seeing how old it is, so, if you've never replaced the TPS or MAP, I'd start there, it's about time for either or both of those to fail and you'll likely be replacing them soon anyways. O2 sensors will probably soon follow. Hope this helps.

K - Thanks for taking the time to help out viewers. Great advice.
My Nissan Nerva 2000, started dropping its idle slowly over a cupule of days to a point where i had turn up the idle screw back up to 700 RPM, when the car is warmed up after driving for about 20 minuet's it would give a bit of a misfire while siting at a red light but then come good on acceleration, it only happens when the car is warmed right up..? No vacuum leaks, Throttle body is clean, Could it be the idle air control valve..? Or a faulty TPS..? My car has a 14 pin port, I've been to three mechanics for a diagnostics test and they don't have the right scan tool for my year model, And it never fails when a mechanic takes the car for a test drive, Well the bloody thing doesn't miss a beat. I guess I will have to try changing both.. Also no engine check light comes up on the dashboard..
