How to Properly Maintain the Throttle Position Sensor on a Ford F-350 Super Duty?

Service of the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor requires battery ground cable removal as the first step along with the air cleaner outlet pipe removal. Before proceeding start by disconnecting the electrical connector of the TP sensor. The TP sensor screws need loose rotation of 1-2 full turns using a hand tool before installing them with a suitable high-speed driver in order to protect the screws from damage. Two screws together with the TP sensor should be removed and properly discarded. You need to use fresh TP sensor together with new screws since repeated use of previous components remains forbidden. Install the TP sensor while matching its radial locator tab to the radial locator hole of the throttle body. The new TP sensor should be fitted onto position with two new screws which need to be tightened to 3 Nm (27 lb-in). Reconnect the TP sensor electrical connector prior to reinstalling the air cleaner outlet pipe and finally connecting the battery ground cable.
