Using a 1999 Lincoln Navigator, we'll show you to replace a throttle position sensor. It's easier than you think.

  • i have a 99 vw jetta with a 2.0 and starts and runs but when driving it seems to have a dead spot in the gas pedal could this be the tps

  • You might have a bad TPS in your Jetta, however I would not replace it until you test it.

  • I would recommend getting a service manual from your local auto parts store. The manual will break down the test procedure for the TPS. Good luck!!

  • Thanks for the vid, I have 98 ML320 55k mi. When starting it it won't go over 10 mi/hr for the first mile or so, pushing the gas pedal won't make a diffrence in the speed. Then it will run normal. Do u think this is related to TPS? Thanks

  • It is possible that your TPS is bad in your ML320. I would recommend testing it before replacing it to confirm it’s bad. Good luck!

  • Thanks for the video but I'm not sure if this is what Im looking for. 2003 for expedition shuts off while driving. Engine shuts off light stay on raido , AC runs engine dead. I sit for 3 min and it turn back on. I changed the fuel filter and the dealer can not find the problem.

  • I would like to help you out however without having the vehicle in my possession it would be hard to do, I would recommend taking it to another shop to get a second opinion. Good Luck!!

  • Thanks for the video, found it simple and to the point. Would this sensor be the reason my Ford Ranger 3.0 4x4 w/5speed lose power on freeway as soon as i go uphill? I could be going 80 and ill lose 30mph quickly. Thanks.

  • @trhamil WHAT!!! a dealer that cant find the problem on there own car who woulda thought LOL if you want it fixed go to a real mechanic

  • I would like to say THANK YOU very much! Your video helped me replace a bad TPS in a 2001 Dodge Durango and now my car works and runs smoothly! :) No more check engine light! I took a test drive for 50 miles back and fourth and so far so good! There would be periods when at a red light the idle RPM would fluctuate from 600-900 but it would stay constant at 750 mostly. I am holding my breath for now. I was 2 weeks from selling my car. I'm going to continue test driving my car for now. Thank you.
