it to get the throttle shaft to align correctly?


thx all

 

Slide it on without the bolts and see which way it twists. It will only twist one direction. Make sure it matches the rotation of the throttle. If the throttle won't open easily by hand, you have it wrong.

 

Thanks Frankie.


From a few youtube clips I've seen and based on my experience replacing the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) today, when I removed the two screws the tps rotated CCW 1/8 of a turn and I pulled it straight out. I installed the new TPS at the same position then rotated it 1/8 turn CW and put the screws back in.


I found it odd there was no gasket or o-ring between the TB and TPS...not on my ole '96 at least.

My old one didn't have them either but the replacement came with them, so I just put them in for peace of mind.

 

Hey Frankie...you got me really thinking so I called my local dealer...


Talked to the parts guy (he didn't see a gasket on his parts list) who went and asked a tech...they do not use a gasket between the TB and TPS and the mopar TPS did not come with one.


Not to say that adding one would hurt AT-ALL, but when I pulled my old one off today it was essentially clean behind there (no previous gasket). The mounting surface was even clean.


Have a good weekend!
