Throttle Position Sensors

Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) – Accurate Throttle Feedback for Smooth Idle & Predictable Acceleration

The throttle position sensor (TPS) tells the engine control unit (ECU) exactly how far the throttle is opened at any given moment. This information is critical for correct fuel delivery, ignition timing, idle control and smooth acceleration. On modern vehicles, even small inaccuracies in throttle position feedback can cause noticeable drivability problems.

When a throttle position sensor begins to fail or drift out of range, drivers may experience unstable idle, hesitation on acceleration, sudden surging, limp mode activation or poor starting behaviour. Because these symptoms often overlap with airflow and fueling faults, TPS issues are frequently misdiagnosed.

Why Choose Our Throttle Position Sensors

• Precise Throttle Angle Feedback – Delivers accurate voltage signals so the ECU can calculate fuel and ignition timing correctly.
• Smooth Idle & Acceleration – Helps eliminate hesitation, flat spots and unpredictable throttle response.
• Application-Correct Calibration – Matched to OE specifications to prevent signal mismatch and fault codes.
• Built for Harsh Conditions – Designed to withstand heat, vibration and stop-start driving common on South African roads.
• Workshop-Approved Reliability – Trusted by technicians diagnosing complex idle and drivability complaints.

Restore accurate throttle feedback and protect your engine management system by replacing a worn or faulty throttle position sensor with a quality, vehicle-specific unit.
