• Q: How to service the Throttle Position Sensor on 2002 Ford Escort?

  A: Service of the Throttle Position Sensor begins with disconnecting the battery ground cable. The first step for servicing the TP sensor involves extracting the air cleaner outlet tube while breaking connections from the fuel charging wires. Unscrew the screws that attach the throttle position sensor before removing it. The TP sensor installation process requires angling its rotary tangs one-quarter turn clockwise past their final position before putting them over the throttle shaft blade before countering the TP sensor rotation only until it reaches its designated position to prevent uncontrolled idle speed. Adjustments are not possible for the TP sensor thus it remains permanently set. Finish the installation by executing the reverse steps for removal.
