The throttle position sensor can fail in several ways all of which result in poor fuel economy at best and performance limitations that may create a safety hazard for you and other motorists at worst. Sorry about no pic of the sensor I have installed the new sensor and had a crazy high idle still around 2k I adjusted the throttle body and now it is back to 800-900 area my gas pedal has a lot of play still but the sensor fixed the gas pedal not working. Made mistake of removing the throttle lever sensor.
Very dangerous as I. When this happened your check engine lite came on then went off when it warmed up and acted normally. Depending on where the position sensors are set the maximum value should be between 80 and 100 at full throttle and less than 20 at idle.
It can also cause problems when changing gears or setting base ignition timing. This sensor can fail gradually or all at once. Replaced TPS and now cannot get it to run right.
