How to Service the Throttle Position Sensor on Lincoln Town Car?

A proper service of the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor begins with disconnecting the battery ground cable and the electrical connector of the TP sensor. When unscrewing the TP sensor screws it is essential to start by loosening them one or two full turns with a hand tool before proceeding with a suitable high-speed driver tool for full removal. The TP sensor receives disposal together with its two screws. A new TP sensor together with fresh screws must be used for installation because reuse of old parts is prohibited. The installation requires you to position the radial locator tab found on the sensor to match the radial locator hole present on the throttle body. Attach the newly positioned TP sensor with the two new screws while tightening them to 3 Nm (27 lb-in). Connection of the TP sensor electrical connector and the battery ground cable completes the installation process.

The Throttle Position Sensor is commonly referred to as TPS is widely used in Lincoln Town Car as a vital element of the fuel management mechanism which gives feedback on the position of the throttle thereby controlling and translating the position of the throttle into fuel-air mixture control for improved combustion. In electronic throttle control systems, the TPS sends information to the computer that is in the engine controlling the power requirement and distributing the fuel as required. It is general to categorize the TPS into two depending on its electrical state, the Closed Throttle Position Sensor (CTPS) that gives an indication in the case of a closed throttle. Different TPS in the modern world use non-contact measurement technologies such as Hall effect or magnetoresistive sensors compared to the previous potentiometric sensors, which allow more accurate and efficient operation.
