Throttle body sensors
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2022 4:50 pm
Hi there
I am having the famous idling problem on my 2litre petrol 406..1999
I have cleaned the throttle body replaced the MAP sensor, TPS and the stepper motor and still no joy. Going to try the temp sensor next but when I was cleaning I noticed a third sensor attached to the throttle body and when I removed it gave me the impression it was a bit dead. Can anyone Identify this third sensor for me. IT is located by the throttle control ( where the accelerator cable connects) and is held on by one screw. Inside it are two springs one conical the other normal and the normal one has a brass contact/pin at one end. I have attached a photo of its position on the body.
Many thanks for your help
