Throttle Position Sensor?

Hesitation on acceleration, much worse when cold. HAve replaced almost every sensor. Timing chain. Very few things left except fuel related. PO171. I also just read another post ablaut the long cranking warm engine. Same thing, though much better since replacing the timing chain, was very loose and timing def affected.

Usually caused by vacuum leaks. You can test the tps. Remove the connector and check resistance with an ohmmeter. Resistance should change smoothly as you open the throttle.

SOURCE: where is the crankshaft position sensor; how to replace

Both are located under the timing cover.you will have to remove the timing sproket to get to the CrankshaftPS. be careful to notice how you removed it. the sproket have to be reinstalled exactly the same way you removed it.

SOURCE: No spark, 1988 Toyota Camry 3SFE 4cyl, 5 speed.

there is no crank sensor on this vehicles 2.0L. If you have power to the coil, new coil, cap and rotor try this if not done yet>>>Unplug coil power first....Try pulling off the distributor cap, and make sure the rotor is spinning with the cam...If this fails to spin, inspect the entire distributor assembly. If it passes, Inspect all the power circuit and wiring to the dist assembly, if ok possible ecu. i recommend having a mechanic check it out!! Hopefully this helps...please rate...thanks

SOURCE: My 2001 Toyota Camry will not accelerate. The

i would not just go buy a tps on a guess
first check to see if you can bring the throttle up by hand at the motor where the throttle cable connects to the throttle body it may be a cable that broke

Testimonial: "Yes it does move and appears to be ok."

SOURCE: on a 04 camry with 2.4 ltr engine, can I replace

I think the terms "Throttle Positon Sensor", TPS and "Throttle Body" can be misleading at least in regards to the 04 Camry.

My 04 Camry gave a diagnostic reading of P2121 for my problem "Throttle PEDAL position switch D circuit". However, we changed out the complete Throttle Body/TPS (Toyota Part #22030-0H020) that did NOT fix problem.

The 04 Camry TPS Electronic Module "Throttle Positon Sensor" is factory assembled and riveted to the side of the throttle body. The only way to service/inspect it would be to cut off or drill out the rivets. Not sure you could open the darn thing if you got it off, but that seems to be the only way Toyota sells them!!

Hopefully a new Throttle PEDAL Position Sensor (Toyota Part # 78010-33010 PEDAL ASSY, ACC)
will fix it. This is located under the dash near the accelerator pedal.

So, now I would recommend FIRST to replace the "Throttle PEDAL Positon Sensor" (it is much, much cheaper) and then the Throttle Body/TPS assembly!! Unless of course, you get a diagnostic code as you did for "faulty throttle body!!

Does a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera SL 3.3ltr 6 cyl have a timing in the e this car seems to drag when I hit the gas to accelerate quickly. Cutlass Ciera SL 3.3ltr

Say what? a timing in the e?? It has a timing chain, it has computer controlled timing advance, not adjustable. Um...

Such hesitation could be from old, worn spark plugs, old, worn plug wires, a dirty air filter, a dirty fuel filter. (Is your check engine light on when running? If so, look for the trouble codes.) Could be a sensor too, I think maybe the mass air flow sensor should be checked. Another sensor for this could be the throttle position sensor. If everything checks out so far, you should have the fuel pressure tested and checked. Just possibly the fuel pump needs changing. Testing the pressure will tell you.
All I can think of so far, enough to keep you busy checking?

97 voyager 3.0L stalls at stops and turning shows running rich

You may have two different problems.
The rich mixture could be several things including a faulty O2 sensor or leaking injector. If a sensor fails it should set a code in the computer.
The stalling could be a dirty throttle body or a problem with the idle speed control valve.

96 Camry LE V6 that hesitates the first thing in the morning,

It sounds like a dead spot in the TPS (throttle position sensor) it is the only sensor that is subject to physical wear (1996 its old replace it) also the 02 sensor is old too.

When i accelerate motor hesitates like starving for fuel i checked fuel pressure it is at idle 52 lbs when i give gas it goes to 60lbs truck starts fine idles ok with intermediate miss

Could be dirty fuel injectors. solution: pour fuel additive such as SeaFoam or Lucas injector cleaner in the gas and drive.

Ignition timing could be off. Check timing.

OR, could be throttle position sensor is going bad. If cleaning the injectors doesn't fix it, then the sensor is going out and needs to be replaced.

2000 Xterra hesitateing, backfireing, not accelerating above 20mi

Airflow sensor very well may cause it , and Throttle position and temperature sensor too.
All of it has to be checked with good scaner , that can monitor values and data from ECM.
You need to find a better shop.

Check throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle. The sensor is usually a potentiometer, and therefore provides a variable resistance dependent upon the position of the valve. The sensor signal is used by the engine control unit (ECU) as an input to its control system. The ignition timing and fuel injection timing (and potentially other parameters) are altered depending upon the position of the throttle, and also depending on the rate of change of that position. For example, in fuel injected engines, in order to avoid stalling, extra fuel may be injected if the throttle is opened rapidly (mimicking the accelerator pump of carburetor systems). the cost about 50-75 bucks.
