Q: How to service and repair the Throttle Position Sensor on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Once the ignition is turned off users should disconnect the throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connector to service and repair the Throttle Position Sensor. Begin by unscrewing each tp sensor attaching screw followed by removing the tp sensor before finishing with the tp sensor o-ring. Begin sensor installation by putting the new o-ring in place before setting the throttle valve to its normal idle position. Fix the tp sensor screw into place with loctite(R) 262 or equivalent thread-locking compound gm p/n 1052624 before tightening the screws to 2.0 n.m (18 lb in). Finally attach the electrical connector to the tp sensor.
Q: How to replace the Throttle Position Sensor on Chevrolet Impala?
A: Turn off the ignition then you should remove the air intake duct before starting the replacement. The first step is disconnecting both the evap purge line and fuel lines according to the quick connect fitting(s) service (Metal Collar) procedure. Begin by unfastening the tp sensor electrical connection then removing its 2 fasteners before extracting the tp sensor together with its o-ring. Before moving forward with installation you should install an o-ring onto the new tp sensor before mounting the component onto the Throttle Body assembly while using thread-locking compound loctite(R) 262 gm p/n #1052624 or an equivalent on the fasteners. Complete the installation by placing the o-ring onto the new tp sensor before installing it to the Throttle Body assembly. Caution must be taken to apply a thread-locking compound. Then connect the electrical tp sensor connector and evap purge line and fuel lines according to the quick connect fitting(s) service (Metal Collar) procedure before reinstalling the air intake duct. Lastly, tighten the tp sensor attaching screws to 2.0 n.m (18 lb in).
Q: How to service the Throttle Position Sensor on Chevrolet S10?
A: You should remove the Throttle Body before extracting mounting screws from the throttle position (TP) sensor while being careful to keep the tp sensor dry from any liquid cleaner or solvent. Extract the tp sensor from the Throttle Body assembly. Place the tp sensor above the throttle shaft while matching the tp mounting holes to the Throttle Body assembly holes. The attaching screw threads require cleaning before applying thread locking material gm p/n 1052624 or equivalent because the screws have thread locking adhesive already applied. We must install the tp sensor mounting screws after tightening them to 2 n.m with an 18 lb in torque setting. Reconnect the Throttle Body afterwards and join the tp sensor harness connector.
