How to Install and Remove a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on Dodge Ram 1500?

To remove the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), start by taking off the air resonator tube at the throttle body, disconnect the TPS electrical connector and then take out the two TPS mounting screws. The throttle body must be inserted so that the throttle shaft fits into the socket of the TPS, allowing the sensor to rotate by a few degrees; if the throttle body doesn't allow rotation, it should be placed so the TPS socket tangs are tightening the throttle shaft as it rotates. Following the installation of the TPS and securing it with the retaining screws, make sure to tighten them to 7 Nm (60 in. lbs.) torque. After that, connect the TPS electrical connector and use the throttle arm by hand to ensure there is no binding before starting the engine and lastly, reconnect the air cleaner tube to the throttle body.
