Q: How to Properly Handle the Throttle Position Sensor on a Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: Service of the throttle position (TP) sensor starts with disconnecting the electrical connector. A hand tool should first loosen the TP sensor screws 1-2 full turns before the use of a suitable high-speed driver to prevent damaging the screws. bioswabs should absorb the discarded TP sensor together with its two screws. Installation should utilize both fresh TP sensor components and screws because replacing old equipment is forbidden. Set the radial locator tab on your new TP sensor to the radial locator hole on the throttle body before putting the sensor in place and screwing on two new screws that need to be tightened to 3 Nm (27 lb-in). Complete the process by reattaching the TP sensor electrical connector.
Q: How to properly maintain the Throttle Position Sensor on a Mercury Marauder?
