07 chevy equinox , it goes into power loss mode, check engine light on and stabila track on , i was told it was the tps sensor is that the sensor on the gas pedal or is that in the throttle body

  • Anonymous Jan 12, 2018

    My 2010 equinox 3.0 6 cyl did the same thing, took it to auto zone to check codes at no charge. Code p2135 throttle position sensor came up, couldn't find just the sensor so I bought a new throttle with sensor attached acdelco 217 3103 easy install 4 bolts. O ring was still good. about $135 at amazon. Disconnected negative on battery cleared ck engine light. this solved the problem for me.

    07 may be able to get just the tps which is on the throttle body unit if not then yes you have to replace the whole unit.

Hi
I would suggest this fsult is tested using correct diagnostic computer because guesding could cost a fortune in wrong parts. Also, just because 1 car has a similar fault does not mean yours will be the same.
You could have an ecu issue, wiring connector faults etc etc.
Get it cgecked by a pro.

SOURCE: Tps Sensor low input p-0227

P0227 also indicates the throttle PEDAL position switch control Circuit.Not only the throttle position sensor at the engine.

SOURCE: 1989 GMC 2500 5.7L - engine surges and stalls at idle. Loses power at cruising speed.

Wow you have replaced a lot of stuff. Lets go back to the Fuel pump. When you replaced it did you replace the hose between the pump and the sending unit. These are common for splitting. Have you hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to check what pressure you have? It should be real close to 13 psi and should raise to at least 18 or 19 when you pinch off the return line.

SOURCE: code p0121 TPS

THERE IS A TP SENSOR BUILT INTO THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR. THESE TRUCKS HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR A FEW PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA. THROTTLE ACTUATOR IS NOT SERVICEABLE. THE THROTTLE BODY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED IF IT IS PROVEN FAULTY. THE APP SENSORS ARE LOCATED IN THE GAS PEDAL MODULE. THESE SEND SIGNAL TO COMPUTER TO TELL IT WHERE YOUR FOOT IS, THEN COMPUTER SENDS COMMAND TO THROTTLE ACTUATOR TO OPEN OR CLOSE THROTTLE BASED ON THIS INPUT. THE SENSOR IN THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR DELIVERS A MESSAGE BACK TO THE COMPUTER TO TELL IT WHAT THE ACTUAL THROTTLE POSITION IS. IF THESE SIGNALS DONT MATCH(WHERE THROTTLE IS COMMANDED AND WHERE IT ACTUALLY IS)THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE COULD GO INTO A REDUCED POWER MODE. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!

Susuki esteem TPS

old post.
they used 2 engines, one is 1.6L and 1.8L other.
so my guess, is , that
car starts ok. hot or cold engine.
and
car has no power at WOT, (it wont be the TPS)
Is the check engine light on, key on, and does it stay off running?
if not the ECU/PCM (enginebrain) wants to tell you what is wrong
why not ask it.?
ok there are 3 forms of power loss (engine power)
1: WOT, wide open throttle (on most cars that is the MAF sensor)
2: cruising say,at 45mph that too is MAF + oxy sensor.
3: accelerating only, the TPS does cause Enriich mode.
if not , then the TPS is dead.

Stability track

This is a common problem with GM's. The TPS sensor goes bad in the throttle body. Throws out a message to service Stabilitrac. Not SO!!!
The kicker is that the whole throttle body has to be replaced because the TPS sensor is actually part of the throttle body!!! Costs around $250.00 for aftermarket.

05 chevy equinox , it goes into power loss randomly while driving.

When you say power loss, do you mean electrical power? Are your lights going dim?

My sister's '07 Chevy Equinox will have the

The PCM (computer) is limiting the throttle because something is wrong with your suspension , steering or braking system. Have you had brakes worked on, changed tire sizes etc? The stabilitrack system gets feedback from sensors in each wheel> Such as speed, rotation angle etc and makes adjustments to stabilize the vehicle. If the sensors are not working properly or the braking is not balanced, the computer will throttle down the vehicle to prevent what it thinks is the beginning of a skid.

I got code p2176 I changed out the tps still got same problem did not have this problem with other engine just changed engine out now cant seem to get this code off causing the car to rough idle and low...

P2176=Throttle Actuator Control System - Idle Position Not Learned
Did you use all you old sensors,or is some of them from the new engine,I would swap out the IAC sensor or check for wires not hooked up.
If it can't relearn to idle the Idle air control might be different then your old one,but its not registering with the computer

94 chevy k5 blazer works fine cold problem is that when it worms up it stalls backfires into the exauhst and losses power and turns off

Most of the time if it was a fuel pump it wouldnt start at all.Sounds like a tps problem.If there is a check engine light on, it would probably be cheaper to pay someone to scan it, instead of guessing and buying
sensor after sensor.Some of them are quite expensive.
Hope i was of some help
