Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Potentiometer

PURPOSE

Provides a reference voltage interpreted by the ECU to determine throttle position.  Potentiometer input enables the ECU to differentiate between idle,
acceleration and full power demands and make adjustments accordingly.

OPERATION

 As the throttle opens, the ECU detects a linear increase in voltage and responds by enriching the mixture to accommodate acceleration.

LOCATION

Mechanically coupled to throttle shaft.
