How to properly service a Throttle Position Sensor on a Lincoln Continental?

You must eliminate the throttle body as your first step for servicing the Throttle Position Sensor (TP sensor). First remove the TP sensor by taking out screws which fasten it to the Throttle Position sensor. Revert the steps used for removal to install the part. The throttle position sensor requires replacement when it becomes faulty since the sensor cannot receive any adjustment. When installing the sensor you must check that the throttle lever functions properly in the Wide Open Throttle position before it reaches its stop.

How to Service the Throttle Position Sensor on Lincoln Navigator?

The first step in servicing the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor requires removing the battery ground cable. Start by unfastening the air cleaner inlet assembly along with its associated pipe. The TP sensor electrical connector needs to be unplugged. Loosening the TP sensor screws by one or two full turns with hand tools precedes the use of appropriate high-speed drivers for removal because inappropriate removal methods could damage the screws. The installation requires the disposal of both screws and the Throttle Position sensor. The procedure calls for employing fresh screws and sensors because old components may not be reused according to the specifications. Before installing the new TP sensor position its radial locator tab correctly against the radial locator hole in the throttle body. Secure the new TP sensor onto position by using two new screws which need to be tightened to 3 Nm (27 lb-in). Reattach the TP sensor electrical connector followed by reinstalling the air cleaner and its inlet pipe and then connect the battery ground cable.
