Does throttle position sensor affect idle?
Engine won’t idle smoothly, idles too slowly, or stalls If you start to experience engine misfires, stalling, or rough idling when the car is stopped, it can also be a warning sign of a failing TPS. The TPS can also send bad input that ends up stalling the engine at any time.Click to see full…

Here are some common symptoms of a bad or failing throttle position sensor to watch for: Car won’t accelerate, lacks power when accelerating, or accelerates itself. Engine won’t idle smoothly, idles too slowly, or stalls. Car accelerates, but won’t exceed a relatively low speed, or shift up. Subsequently, question is, what should throttle position be at idle? At idle is should be zero or a couple of degrees. Press down on the gas pedal very S-L-O-W-L-Y until the throttle is all the way open. You should see the percentage of throttle opening gradually increase to 100 percent at wide open throttle. Likewise, people ask, will a bad throttle position sensor cause high idle? When a TPS goes bad, then the car’s throttle body won’t function properly. It could either stay shut or it won’t close properly which is a severe issue. When the throttle gets stuck in an open position than your vehicle will receive too much air and cause it to have a high or fluctuating idle.What happens if you disconnect throttle position sensor?If the TPS is not adjusted correctly as evidenced by a 500rpm idle, and hesitation with initial acceleration, unplugging the TPS connector should then cause a correct idle, and a normal acceleration. Correcting the TPS then produced a correct idle, and no code.
