Never mind. I found it. Throttle Position Sensor. So now my question is....I want to test it to see if its bad or going bad. I've done this before on a different car many years ago. I remember its basically a variable resistor that sends the ecu signals to know what position the throttle is at. What I don't remember is which prongs I need to put the ohm meter on and what its suppose to read out. Any ideas?
