Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a throttle position sensor on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo with the 3.4 liter V6 engine. The items you'll need for this is a new throttle position sensor from 1aauto.com and a T20 Torx bit and ratchet.
Your throttle position sensor is located right back here. Just lift up the tab and disconnect the harness. It's held in with two T20 bolts, one up here and one below it. We'll just fast forward as Mike removes those. Just pull the sensor free.
On the left is the old throttle position sensor, on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Feed the new sensor into place and then replace by hand those two screws. Once you've got them started just tighten them up. Now reconnect the harness and you're all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Shipping and price were excellent. I had replaced pretty much every part with Oxygen or idle in it's description to solve the idle problem (code 420) and purchased this just because it was near the idle air sensor and I figured why not for $22? This solved the issue on a truck (2002 GMC Sierra 1500) so now it starts, idles and coasts with confidence.

I bought this part because when driving my truck and going around 30 to 50 mph it felt like it was stuttering. The part fixed my problem but now when Im going around 45 to 50 mph the rpm's drop to 1000 rpms and it stays there until you step on the gas. I might have low fuel pressure but at least this part fixed what was making my truck feel uncomfortable to drive.

My order for the TPS came fast and was exactly what I ordered. It was the right one and went in pretty easy it fit perfect. I will continue to use 1AAUTO for my vehicle parts and needs. I am very pleased with my order, with delivery time and with 1AAUTO website.
Great value!

Been chasing an intermittent acceleration hesitation issue on my 2003 chevy express with 230k miles. Only ever changed oil on this bad boy, so some routine maintenance parts were in order. Anyway, turns out the TPS was the culprit. I always get my parts from 1AAuto. Their Vids are great too.

Is there a certain way to install a tps?May 1, 2016

Line up the slot on the switch, turn to line up the two screw holes. Tighten the screws and plug it back in. Just as simple as it looks.
