How To Replace and Adjust the Throttle Position Sensor

How To Replace and Adjust the Throttle Position Sensor

Today we’re replacing, and adjusting, a throttle position sensor. The sensor detects the opening and closing of the throttle valve and feeds that info to the vehicle’s computer. This was performed on a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Check with your vehicle’s repair manual for testing parameters.

If it's Japanese it's not a phillips it is a JIS screwdriver. Very similiar and if you find yourself camming out screws then that's why.

Thank for the video pal. I’ve been struggling with my 1990 Nissan Maxima Automatic.
After replacing a bad ECU, my idle goes up and down when warm.
I’m about to try the technique in this video.
Thanks again.
