Where Is the Throttle Body Temp Sensor

The throttle body is an important part of your vehicle and should be monitored regularly. The throttle body temp sensor is a sensor that is mounted on the throttle body.

Where is the throttle body sensor located?

A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the air intake of an engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle/shaft, so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle.

Can a bad throttle body cause a car to run hot?

Another sign of a bad throttle body temp sensor is problems starting the engine. Though this can result from a number of causes, one of them can be an improper air/fuel mixture incited by a broken temperature sensor. In this case, the engine may be too hot for you to effectively start the car.
