Throttle
Throttle
So my car sometimes doesn't wanna do anything when I press the gas or it won't switch gears. The check engine was on so I plugged a CPU into it and it said it was a throttle position sensor. I bought one from the chrysler dealership and they gave me a whole pedal and everything. Does that mean the sensor is under the pedal itself?

Re: Throttle
The TPS ( Throttle Position Sensor ) is an integrated part of the Throttle Body.
It can be cleaned by removing the throttle body, then the clips that secure the black plastic cover. Use contact cleaner on the conductive etchings and on the contact fingers.
I'm not sure you have the correct part.
There IS a sensor in the throttle pedal assembly, but that is not considered to be the TPS.

Re: Throttle
So he has a TP sensor code and the dealer sells him a pedal assembly.
Didn't Abbot and Costello do an episode similar to this?
Yea, that's why I (we) PLEAD with people to not go to a Chrysler Dealer for help!
HEY........... if the sensor in the pedal WAS bad, his symptoms would make sense.
