INSTALLATION
(1) The throttle shaft end of the throttle body slides
into a socket in the TPS (Fig. 64). The socket has two
tabs inside it. The throttle shaft rests against the tabs.
When indexed correctly, the TPS can rotate clockwise a
few degrees to line up the mounting screw holes with
the screw holes in the throttle body (Fig. 65). The TPS
has slight tension when rotated into position. If it is dif-
ficult to rotate the TPS into position, install the sensor
with the throttle shaft on the other side of the tabs in
the socket. Tighten mounting screws to 3 NIm (25 in.
lbs.) torque.
After installing the TPS, the throttle plate should
be closed. If the throttle plate is open, install the sen-
sor on the other side of the tabs in the socket.
(2) Attach electrical connector to the TPS.
