Dude u r by far the best mechanic on here. The way u explain things r dead on. Ur not too fast or too slow. No wasted time or annoying intro. Nice and calm. Thank u . I had no idea about using meter and testing with dc for tps sensor. And ur paperclip to allegator clip truck is so neat I use it on everything with tight spots. Thank u so much. Keep slinging the wrench
Hey I have a NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4 4 cylinder and it is showing a throttle response sensor I put in a very cheap sensor from Amazon and it is showing the same code please help me?
THANKS! I have been searching for months to fix my high idle on my Pathfinder. I finally found your video. Not even the Factory service manual explains this procedure.
I already watched this once when replacing the TPS on my 95 Nissan maxima the first time. But I'm replacing it again. I thought the transmission was going out, it was slipping so bad. Some one told me to test the TPS because the idle was surging up and it was bad, replaced it and no more transmission problems. Thanks again as always for the videos!!
@CarsNToys Sir, I just watched your videos 6 years after you’ve posted it, do I still a chance to respond to my 2015 Nissan Xterra throttle body I don’t know how to test it
Hey buddy I just wanted to say I really appreciate the time you took to show these methods and skills. I've been stuck for a minute with this tps sensor. What model car are you working on here?
Awesome video; I just changed the TPS in my 2003 Infiniti QX4 and notice I did it wrong by placing the TPS metal tab in the opposite side of the throttle. Thanks for this video.
very, very educative and on point. My 2001 Infiniti I30 idles up and down when heated up. this been going on for a while. I've changed MAFS, Throttle body more than once. However, they're used but the problem continues. sometimes it stalls, you push the gas, the car don't move and you can see the meter go up but not moving. I'm fixing to change the position sensor like you did. but it's had to get around it for lack of space. Can you help. thanks.
great vid. I do have a question. We have a 2003 Nissan Frontier where we replaced the TPS, but now it wants shift funny between first and second. Revs up before shipping from 1 to 2. Like 3000 rpm then shifts. I read a lot where it says the TPS needs to relearn the transmission, but every relearning pattern I've tried doesn't work. It still shifts funning from 1 to 2. Then I got a code for TPS low voltage. Does this mean that it's just not adjusted right? anyways I'll take any help you can offer. 2003 frontier 3.3 auto trans. thanks again
God bless U for this, I have the exact same problem with a Kia sportage 2006. at 256k miles How did you get yours solved, I'd appreciate any help sir/ma??
@@Bi-SparksOLORUNMOLA we never did. We've tried everything on the internet we could find. Disconnect battery, turn key, pump peddle all that stuff and could never get it right so we just drive it.
As you rotated the TPS past the sweet spot you described, you can hear a type of buzzing in the background. Then as you rotated back towards the sweet spot, it went away. What is that buzzing sound ?
Thank you. I have a Nissan Xterra 2006 - the check engine reader at O'Reilly's said we need a Throttle body positioning sensor. Grateful to find your video.
Thank you for the detailed video, really helpful. I am looking to replace TPS on my 99’ Pathfinder 3.3L, could you let me know what the voltage adjustment ranges are?
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.
02 nissan maxima gle and the scan tool tells me that the tps is too high then to low and it will not give me any rpm when pressing on the pedal. Have replaced the pedal throttle body fuel pump and a lot of things
Thanks, It did help me a lot. I removed mine, and when a placed it back it gave me problems, but now I know why, I never imagine I had to adjust the throttle.
First, I want to let you know that your Videos are very clear easy to follow. Now I changed the TPS in my 2003 Infiniti QX4 before seeing your video and mistakenly placed the TAB on the opposite side of the throttle pin. During testing, the engine was revving up and down and then stop working. Found out ECU was fried. Purchased one on eBay and after installing the ECU and the IACV engine did not start. Pull out codes P1610 and P1611 which I guess would be normal. Had my original ECU repaired and reinstalled but the engine won't start. At this point, I need to find one last option to get the engine up and running or tow the car to a mechanic for repairs. Greatly would appreciate any input.
Hey I just wanted to let you know that you're really good at explaining that sensor I have a question for you and I also want to thank you for all the videos that you have made I have a Nissan Frontier are you located in California
Very well done and clearly expained. None of that rambling that lots of guys do. Now I will know how to fix my granddaughters ips if it needs it. Thanks for the vid.
hi, i find your video so interesting, im trying to figure out if my nissan murano 2017 has a throttle position sensor because I know I am having a problem on its idle and hesitation during shifting. pls help me to locate it if I have one. thanks in advance.
Hi Great video, i have a 93 Infinity J30 t ... my issue is slow acceleration from 0 MPH or a LAG on acceleration, once 6-9 seconds passes the vehicle accelerates as expected. have you seen this before and do yo think it could be the TPS? Based on this car being a 3.L eng I'd expect much better performance.. and "get out of the way power"... Thank you! Hope to hear from you Vinny M
Thank you for the video. My car (Nissan Altima 2013) works fine in reverse, but does not get past 2 rpm on drive mode. What do I possibly do to fix the problem?
Nice vid. I just wanted the voltage specs to test my current one and to set the new one if it needs replacing. Lost my nissan FSM bundle for a wide array of cars to mold
Thank for the video pal. I’ve been struggling with my 1990 Nissan Maxima Automatic. After replacing a bad ECU, my idle goes up and down when warm. I’m about to try the technique in this video. Thanks again.
How do we adjust the TPS on a 2001 BMW E46 M3 please. Wondered if you had wire brushed your screws and soaked with WD, they might have come out easier.Also noticed you had socket shape tops to them and was thinking perhaps using socket would help ?? Just a thought !! Thanks for Video
Thank you. This was really helpful. I have an 88 Buick Lesabre and how to position it was what I needed find out. You were straight to the point and fast to explain it and I know that is what most people love about you. Again thank you.
Does the key flick memory reset work on an 06 frontier? I'm going to replace mine, to see if if fixes the random turning off of the truck, and going to replace the cam position sensor as well.
Thanks for a good coverage on this topic. I just replaced the tps on my 2001 xterra 3.3 and the idle is perfect but it keeps dropping out of overdrive when driving and surging from 2500 to 4000rpm. Is that an issue that is fixed by the memory reset you are talking about? and is turning the ignition off and on 20 times method works on my model?
I did a scan this morning and I see two fault codes: P0120 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit and P1705 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A/T. Not sure why I am getting that when I just replaced the TPS and the idle is around 750rpm after getting warmed up.
Did you delete the code after replacing the sensor? If not, assuming the sensor is repaired, the ecm will continually monitor the sensor and eventually turn off the check engine light.
What's are thr RPMs at idle? You should be between 700-800rpms (with the AC off). That being said, your vehicle does have an idle position memory. Fortunately it's the same procedure I describe in the video. (8:20) If you continue to have trouble you're best bet is going through each trouble code with a repair manual. I don't have one for your specific vehicle but I may be able to obtain one through a vender. Feel free to message us via Facebook. Cheers.
Im having trouble with my throttle i believe its the tps bc my idle is horrible. This helps i dont know if it would be this tho bc it does almost die on me while driving it. Like sputters. I love my nissan tho thanks for sharing
that stuttering sound in the background at 6:31 is it from the Transmission solenoid? because my car makes the same noise i thought it to be low voltage current issue. i mean the transmission isn't getting the required voltage/current. am i right?
No, thank you for your help.... Hey, just to ask you.. I tried getting a TPS from the store (Canadian Tire) for my 2004 Pontiac Montana but the part didn't fit.. and they told me that was indeed the part for the model... any suggestions...Thanks again for all your help.
Great video bro! Was wondering if you know where I can find my MAP sensor on 2001 Nissan Sentra GXE 1.8L? Location please and thanks in advance. When I press on the gas paddle while driving it it does not respond
I replaced my TPS on my 2001 Xterra. Thought that I had found the "sweet spot" you referred to. Now, when I drive it, the rpms will jump and fluctuate rapidly when accelerating. From what I can tell, it happens in 2nd gear (though i could be wrong). It did not happen before swapping the TPS. Do you have any advice? It is a 2001 nissan xterra se v6
Thanks for info .... I've a 1993 nissan bluebird sss with a sr20 engine I'm having a problem with properly setting the TPS on it could u give me some info on it ? Thanks much!
Thanks for the video,after servicing my Throttle head of my Nissan Sentra 2014 I've been experiencing a limp in acceleration the rpm goes up and down does it mean if I adjust the sensor it'll be fine?
Hi, thank You For This Wonderful Video.. My Question Is After Setting The TPS At A .4volts (say That Is My car Make Position) , Must I Open The Throttle To Full Position And When Done, How Many Volts Should I Expect To See From The Volt Meter ..?? Regards
Great video. thanks. l was just given a 2000 sentra 1.8L GXE auto trans. I believe it's a Cal emissions. and changed the TBPS. Did not know about adjusting it. Also, will the reset procedure be the same? I've looked at a couple of other videos but they seem kind of involved. Thanks
Thanks. Watched a lot of these videos and yours has been so helpful Have an 02 Nissan Xterra supercharged 3.3 4wd. Any videos on idle air control, ignition switch, how to track down a short and cat converters. Or how to bypass supercharger all together. Thanks again and GODSPEED
Great video thanks. i replaced my TPS on a 2005 Ford Freestar but i didnt know that it had to be calibrated/adjusted. Im actually still having the shut offs while im driving so i ran across your video and saw that it was adjusted could that be the problem because my check transaxle light just flashed yesterday ? And what should my base idle speed be ?
Great stuff C.N.T. I'm working on a 2001 Infiniti I30 3.0 Liter. What would be the Base Idle Speed, Which Leed do I insert the paper clip, and how many volts am I looking for? Thank you in advance Don in Boca Raton, Fl.
Does the metal part in the tps that moves the throttle goes over the metal hinge or under? Idk if I explain myself but the tps lifts the hings or stops it from going too much?
19 year old part, this make and year was /is very reliable. My problem is at live data the tp to as high as 16% with the pedal almost all the way down. Can I adjust or clean the sensor to help with that or do I just need to replace it?
Hi thanks for this great video really helped me a lot but i would like to get a precise adjustment using a multi meter i drive a Nissan Sentra 140i twin cam 16 valve if you could possibly guide me to the correct wire to use on my plug that would be really great thanks.
hi great video i have a 1997 Q45 4.1 when i mash the gas in neutral it tacs up ok but when your driving and mash the pedal it bogs down and sometimes will die turn key off and back on and crank it will run fine till you get back on the gas hard. changed tps still does same thing do you have any ideals about whats happening
1997 Inifniti Q45 have a bouncy tach the is electrical issue and rough idle im guessing it tps or fuel pump as I have replaced the plugs and coils. Any tips to fix tachometer? I cant find a replacement part
Hi, I was wondering what that noise is around 6:33 when you moved the sensor there was a buzzing noise? Just curious as to what that might be as mine does that too whenever I move the tps to a certain position.
Hello, thanks for the video. I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra. I accidently killed the battery while working on it. Now it idles at 350-400 rpm. I've tried every technique on here to reset the idle. nothing is working. Any suggestions? I might try and adjust the TPS or clean throttle body but it idled fine till I drained the battery. Thanks in advance.
Hi and thanks for the video; is the voltage range for the GPS sensor the same for all cars? I have a 2002 jaguar x-type 2.5 that I need to replace the TPS sensor on. Thank you
Thank you very much... that was short and sweet.... crisp and clear... and to the point... was very informative and most useful... Thank you so much.... appreciate all your help. Keep up the good work.
i just picked up a sweet '96 pathfinder 4x4 5 spd manual. with a couple of codes. p0120, and p0325. i am qbout to change the TPS, and if you could help a bro out with odle speed info etc, or idle re-learn procedures, i would be so very grateful
This was the most helpful video and in under ten minutes. Wish I would of found this one sooner. I hope the tps sensor is my problem for my low idle. This will be my third attempt. I've cleaned throttle body and iac valve so for my poor idle the culprit must be the tps. Thanks
Thank you for such an amazing presentation. I know you said Nissan snd Infinity but do you per chance know what the expected voltage range is for a 2006 Ford Explorer?
I have a 1997 Nissan pick up I'm having problems with the throttle pale sensor I've replaced and can't keep it idling right ! what do you think I've done wrong also do you think I've got to reset and how do I do it? thanks great video . .
What about a TPS that has only has the screw holes that can't be adjusted and fits on one way only"? I just put on a new TPS on a 1997 Toyota Avalon (I disconnetd the battery first because I was told to do that before I even take the old one off). Both the original Toyota TPS and the new replacement part just have two stationary screw holes that are non-adjustable. (only fits on one way) I did however, notice that I had to twist the sensor slightly in order the match up the screw holes after inserting the part on the little gear inside the TPS Throttle body mount. (it was maybe a 1/4 inch off. The sensor has a little tension spring inside that allows you to turn it slightly to match u the screw holes. I'm assuming no adjusting of the sensor would be necessary since it only fits on one way? Or is there some other adjustment that I'm not aware of? Also, once I've put the new TPS on, how long does the ECU take to re-learn the new TPS and respond accordingly? And will I see improved performance immediately after installation or will the car continue to run badly until the ECU finishes relearning the new part? Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video. I have an Infiniti QX4 and I was replace the TPS on it but I can’t get it to start so I do believe it is the spark plug number two boot so I have to take off. I appreciate you. thank you for the video.
I have an 05 Maxima 3.5. you think this could cause a loss of power issue? If I have it in gear it'll sometime act like the accelerator does nothing but if I throw it in neutral I have full revs. Any ideas?
I have a 2004 Cadillac Srx v6, 2wd and the car hesitates when trying to accelerate the car fast and it idles rough. And would cleaning the throttle body and mass air flow sensor make the car run better.
I hope I can finds answer to this! My RPM in highway go down sometime at speed of 70mph to 600 rpm which’s suppose to be normal at 2500rpm and only happened in mornings
Thanks for the great videos. I have a 96 maxima with 156 000. Everything is in great condition except the car will not move in reverse gear when the engine is hot and it reverses slowly when the engine is cold. Would you have the transmission redone on it ? Cost is about $1500 . Also having a hard time finding a rebuilt transmission for it ; would you know some good sources to call that might have it ? Thanks.
Is it basically the same throttle position sensor on a 99 Mercury villager with the 3.3 l The only reason I am concerned because the code of throttle position sensor pops up thank you for your video very good
Hello. Nissan Sentra 2002 RPM in parking 750 after driving at the stop with gear it drops to 300RPM and starts to shake. I cleaned throttle body and replaced IAC actuator, cleaned mass air flow sensor. What’s your advice?
I have a 2000 maxima 3.0 did a tune up cause mileage it was due for one. Car was running fine prior changed plugs used oem and coils also oem tested have spark at each cylinder. Changed Mas, pcv, ignition condenser, and crankshaft sensor in front now car runs horrible. No power takes 5 seconds to hit 10 mph and will run 1st to almost 7000 and then bang to second. ANY THOUGHTS PLEASE IM STUMPED

Now, when I drive it, the rpms will jump and fluctuate rapidly when accelerating. From what I can tell, it happens in 2nd gear (though i could be wrong).
It did not happen before swapping the TPS.
Do you have any advice?
It is a 2001 nissan xterra se v6
Thanks for info .... I've a 1993 nissan bluebird sss with a sr20 engine I'm having a problem with properly setting the TPS on it could u give me some info on it ? Thanks much!
Thanks for the video,after servicing my Throttle head of my Nissan Sentra 2014 I've been experiencing a limp in acceleration the rpm goes up and down does it mean if I adjust the sensor it'll be fine?
Hi, thank You For This Wonderful Video.. My Question Is After Setting The TPS At A .4volts (say That Is My car Make Position) , Must I Open The Throttle To Full Position And When Done, How Many Volts Should I Expect To See From The Volt Meter ..??
Regards
Great video. thanks. l was just given a 2000 sentra 1.8L GXE auto trans. I believe it's a Cal emissions. and changed the TBPS. Did not know about adjusting it. Also, will the reset procedure be the same? I've looked at a couple of other videos but they seem kind of involved. Thanks
and i liked the fact you cut out all the unnecessary talking
short and sweet
Thanks. I'm usually on a time crunch it helps.
10mins isnt short lol
Thanks. Watched a lot of these videos and yours has been so helpful Have an 02 Nissan Xterra supercharged 3.3 4wd. Any videos on idle air control, ignition switch, how to track down a short and cat converters. Or how to bypass supercharger all together. Thanks again and GODSPEED
Great video thanks. i replaced my TPS on a 2005 Ford Freestar but i didnt know that it had to be calibrated/adjusted. Im actually still having the shut offs while im driving so i ran across your video and saw that it was adjusted could that be the problem because my check transaxle light just flashed yesterday ? And what should my base idle speed be ?
Thank you for your video. So many videos are not clear, your video really helped me alot. Thank you
Thank you. Glad to help.
Great stuff C.N.T. I'm working on a 2001 Infiniti I30 3.0 Liter. What would be the Base Idle Speed, Which Leed do I insert the paper clip, and how many volts am I looking for? Thank you in advance Don in Boca Raton, Fl.
Does the metal part in the tps that moves the throttle goes over the metal hinge or under? Idk if I explain myself but the tps lifts the hings or stops it from going too much?
19 year old part, this make and year was /is very reliable. My problem is at live data the tp to as high as 16% with the pedal almost all the way down. Can I adjust or clean the sensor to help with that or do I just need to replace it?
Hi thanks for this great video really helped me a lot but i would like to get a precise adjustment using a multi meter i drive a Nissan Sentra 140i twin cam 16 valve if you could possibly guide me to the correct wire to use on my plug that would be really great thanks.
hi great video i have a 1997 Q45 4.1 when i mash the gas in neutral it tacs up ok but when your driving and mash the pedal it bogs down and sometimes will die turn key off and back on and crank it will run fine till you get back on the gas hard. changed tps still does same thing do you have any ideals about whats happening
1997 Inifniti Q45 have a bouncy tach the is electrical issue and rough idle im guessing it tps or fuel pump as I have replaced the plugs and coils. Any tips to fix tachometer? I cant find a replacement part
Great video... is there any difference changing a TPS on a cbr1000rr 🤔😊
Thank you for your video, could you tell me what the idle speed of my 2004 FORD ESCAPE
Hi, I was wondering what that noise is around 6:33 when you moved the sensor there was a buzzing noise? Just curious as to what that might be as mine does that too whenever I move the tps to a certain position.
Hello, thanks for the video. I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra. I accidently killed the battery while working on it. Now it idles at 350-400 rpm. I've tried every technique on here to reset the idle. nothing is working. Any suggestions? I might try and adjust the TPS or clean throttle body but it idled fine till I drained the battery. Thanks in advance.
Hi CarsNToys, I'm wounding If its the same principal for the Nissan Narara 2000 D22..?
Hi and thanks for the video; is the voltage range for the GPS sensor the same for all cars? I have a 2002 jaguar x-type 2.5 that I need to replace the TPS sensor on. Thank you
Hey man. Can you tell me the voltage for a 95 D21 Hardbody? After adjusting or changing the TPS, do I need to relearn the TBS?
Thank you
i think your advice on doing the ignition reset method worked. i will check again in the morning with a cold start
Not starting the car right or do you have to start car I'm sorry for the question
Thanks! Do you have the info for an xterra 2001 3.3 v6 .
Thank you very much... that was short and sweet.... crisp and clear... and to the point... was very informative and most useful... Thank you so much.... appreciate all your help. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
i just picked up a sweet '96 pathfinder 4x4 5 spd manual. with a couple of codes. p0120, and p0325. i am qbout to change the TPS, and if you could help a bro out with odle speed info etc, or idle re-learn procedures, i would be so very grateful
This was the most helpful video and in under ten minutes. Wish I would of found this one sooner. I hope the tps sensor is my problem for my low idle. This will be my third attempt. I've cleaned throttle body and iac valve so for my poor idle the culprit must be the tps. Thanks
Thank you for such an amazing presentation. I know you said Nissan snd Infinity but do you per chance know what the expected voltage range is for a 2006 Ford Explorer?
I have a 1997 Nissan pick up I'm having problems with the throttle pale sensor I've replaced and can't keep it idling right ! what do you think I've done wrong also do you think I've got to reset and how do I do it? thanks great video . .
Do you know how many volts, what wire to touch, and the base idle speed on a 03 Nissan Sentra manual transmission?
What about a TPS that has only has the screw holes that can't be adjusted and fits on one way only"? I just put on a new TPS on a 1997 Toyota Avalon (I disconnetd the battery first because I was told to do that before I even take the old one off). Both the original Toyota TPS and the new replacement part just have two stationary screw holes that are non-adjustable. (only fits on one way) I did however, notice that I had to twist the sensor slightly in order the match up the screw holes after inserting the part on the little gear inside the TPS Throttle body mount. (it was maybe a 1/4 inch off. The sensor has a little tension spring inside that allows you to turn it slightly to match u the screw holes. I'm assuming no adjusting of the sensor would be necessary since it only fits on one way? Or is there some other adjustment that I'm not aware of? Also, once I've put the new TPS on, how long does the ECU take to re-learn the new TPS and respond accordingly? And will I see improved performance immediately after installation or will the car continue to run badly until the ECU finishes relearning the new part? Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video. I have an Infiniti QX4 and I was replace the TPS on it but I can’t get it to start so I do believe it is the spark plug number two boot so I have to take off. I appreciate you. thank you for the video.
Hi, is this the same procedure for 2002 nissa frontier?
I have an 05 Maxima 3.5. you think this could cause a loss of power issue? If I have it in gear it'll sometime act like the accelerator does nothing but if I throw it in neutral I have full revs. Any ideas?
I have a 2004 Cadillac Srx v6, 2wd and the car hesitates when trying to accelerate the car fast and it idles rough. And would cleaning the throttle body and mass air flow sensor make the car run better.
I hope I can finds answer to this! My RPM in highway go down sometime at speed of 70mph to 600 rpm which’s suppose to be normal at 2500rpm and only happened in mornings
Good day.
Can you please tell me the volts and idle speed for 2002 nissian xterra 3.3L manual transmission.
Thanks
Hey great vid i have a 1998 nissan pathfinder what is the idle steed for it
Thanks for the great videos. I have a 96 maxima with 156 000. Everything is in great condition except the car will not move in reverse gear when the engine is hot and it reverses slowly when the engine is cold. Would you have the transmission redone on it ? Cost is about $1500 . Also having a hard time finding a rebuilt transmission for it ; would you know some good sources to call that might have it ? Thanks.
Is it basically the same throttle position sensor on a 99 Mercury villager with the 3.3 l
The only reason I am concerned because the code of throttle position sensor pops up thank you for your video very good
can you tell me what the base idle speed is for a 1998 nissan altima is? thank you for the video, great learning .
Check for a sticker under the hood of the vehicle. If you're unable to find, send an email to carsntoyshelp@gmail.com
Finally a guy who can understand do it your selfers .
Do u happen to know base idle speed for a 2004 kia sorento ex 3.5l v6. Thank you very much
Hello. Nissan Sentra 2002 RPM in parking 750 after driving at the stop with gear it drops to 300RPM and starts to shake. I cleaned throttle body and replaced IAC actuator, cleaned mass air flow sensor. What’s your advice?
does a faulty TPS also affects the Automatic transmission shifting? especially the Overdrive
Kenneth A yes
Thanks for the videos! Can you tell me what the base idle should be for a 2006 Kia Amanti? I'm guessing 800 rpm.
Look under the hood / bonnet and you'll see a sticker for the base idle speed.
I have a 2000 maxima 3.0 did a tune up cause mileage it was due for one. Car was running fine prior changed plugs used oem and coils also oem tested have spark at each cylinder. Changed Mas, pcv, ignition condenser, and crankshaft sensor in front now car runs horrible. No power takes 5 seconds to hit 10 mph and will run 1st to almost 7000 and then bang to second. ANY THOUGHTS PLEASE IM STUMPED
hi....I'm Raul and I need your help with my 2003 ford expedition xlt sport edition 2wd 4.6 L,.....I just clean clean very good the throttle body and put new IAC valve with new Gaskets on both, but my car has fluctuations after 40 seconds of start.....can u help me with it?.....whats its the right info that I need to adjust my TPS in case I replace it....tnks.....I like all your videos, they are very helpful!!!!
Thank you! Super helpful and easy to understand and follow! 👊
I have a question for you. I have a Nissan Sentara 03. When I press on gas pedal won't rev up. I put different throttle body in it still won't rev
