Throttle Position Sensor for Chevy Silverado 1500 Silverado 2500 GMC Sierra 1500

This throttle position sensor for Chevy Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500, and GMC Sierra 1500 monitors the throttle plate angle and relays that data to the engine control module to manage fuel delivery and shift points.

Overview

This throttle position sensor is a direct electronic replacement for Chevy Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500, and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. It mounts on the throttle body and reads the position of the accelerator pedal to help the engine computer adjust air-fuel mixture. A failing sensor can cause rough idle, hesitation, or trouble shifting, and this part restores proper throttle response.

Good To Know

Q: What are the symptoms of a bad throttle position sensor? A: Common signs include a rough or fluctuating idle, hesitation or stumbling on acceleration, and poor fuel economy. In many cases, the check engine light will appear with a code related to the throttle position sensor circuit.

Q: Is installation a simple DIY job? A: Yes, this sensor is a direct replacement. You will typically need a socket set and a few minutes to unbolt the old sensor and bolt in the new one, though disconnecting the battery is recommended.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
