A throttle body sensor (TBS) is a critical component in an internal combustion engine. It is responsible for monitoring the position of the throttle valve and sending this information to the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this information to determine the amount of fuel that is injected into the engine, and to adjust the ignition timing. A faulty TBS can lead to a variety of problems, including poor engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and stalling.
Replacing a TBS is a relatively simple procedure that can be completed in about an hour. However, it is important to note that this procedure should only be attempted by those who are comfortable working on automobiles. If you are not comfortable working on automobiles, it is best to have this procedure performed by a qualified mechanic.
