This video should be in the ASMR section of youtube. Relaxing voice!! Probably the best how to video ive ever seen. Thanks!!

Straight robbery. Over 100$+ for something you can do in 5 minutes yourself. I just got a new tps for 10$ on amazon myself because I have the same problems that you described. I am so glad I decided to do it myself and your video makes me feel that much better seeing how simple it is now. Thanks!

Thank you Robert! Your video made this repair easy. Your sharing of this procedure saved me $120. My Dakota runs like a charm! Thanks again.

Very clearly filmed and narrated. Great video, thank you for making this.

Straightforward and to the point without a lot of unnecessary crap thank you

This is exactly what I've been looking for !!! thank you !

You sir are my hero. I managed to change it all by myself with your help.

I thought the same thing about the 'conforting' voice. although it may also just be so comforting that this saved me my family 280$. thats what Chrysler wanted to swap this little guy out.

ok, i just literally just changed the sensor i bought at Oriellys ($34.99), and walla its fixed. idles normal, how it should , took it around the corner and came to complete stops a few times and no more engine dying. awesome video sir. thanks a lot!

this guy's voice is almost as comforting as Morgan Freeman's!!!

Thank you for the feedback and Merry Christmas to you sir.

2007 Durango. Thanks man. You gave me everything I needed to fix my car.

Thank goodness for people like you. This video helped me a ton!

Thanks for this advice, I was ready to get rid of my 2000 4.7 Dodge Dakata 4x4 for idling so rough. After replacing the TPS, I'm idling so much smoother and the truck doesn't vibrate as much when driving

Nice video! Direct and to the point. Very well done!

1 min in and I have to say, you have a great narrator voice that is so clear.

Thanks for the Video, replaced mine and the RPM is stable now

Told me exactly what I needed to know. Thanks

Ty this has helped me and very good instructions

Used this very helpful video to replace my TPS in my 2006 Dodge Durango and it runs perfectly now. I was worried about going to the dealership, but this $25 part was too easy to install. Thanks.

Thank you so much! Very easy with video. You are the man! Just saved some $$$!! Took me 20 mins from start to finish..

you sound like you do those first time on the job intro videos that go over basics lol. I thought that was pretty cool. nice video

You are the man. Thank you, sir. 2007 Dakota P2074.

Old school mechanic here thats fairly new to fuel injection ( ran my 66 d100 till i just couldnt anymore) my new (to me) 2002 dakota revs to 2k at startup and constantly shifts high and in and out of OD while cruising on flat land. sounds like a $40 gamble may be worth it and it looks so simple a noob could do it. TY

thanks very helpful I needed this video

Great video! Thanks!

Worked on a 05 Ram! Thanks megas😁

Thank you for the video! I think even I can do this! I will replace it soon.

Great vídeo thanks Sir,good info

Good vid. Just a couple of points: My Haynes manual indicates that the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor, which also determines gas levels like the TPS, can cause similar symptoms to a faulty TPS. Testing of the TPS with a voltage meter is recommended to see if it is the TPS that is faulty and not the MAP sensor. Having said that, if you replace your TPS and the symptoms still occur, it is likely your MAP sensor that really needs to be replaced, although that is a more expensive process of elimination. Also, instructions that came with my new sensor spoke about testing the new sensor by rotating it in place on the throttle body before installing the screws. Finally, depending on the year of the vehicle, it may have an O-ring or a gasket, so make sure you check which it has before installation (your new one should come with both). Cheers.

The throttle position sensor on my 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport is a pain to get to. It is located to the back of the engine. The air hose, other wires, cramped space, and little light all add to the problem.

Thanks, nice video. From 01 durango 4.7 owner with a p0123 error code.

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango 4.7 and have to replace it every winter. I just found out that is due to heavy rain or water from car wash will leak onto the engine and mess with the sensor. I was told that they have the 07 windshield cowl that fits early models that will fix that issue, just a fyi

I have a 04 v8 5.7 Durango. Having a problem with acceleration hesitation at low speeds only. No check engine light, could the TPS sensor be the problem?

one other symptom that occurs. is hard up and down shifting. this is often noticeable while in heavy stop and go traffic. This is due to the swing in RPM from the tps sending false readings.

Would this clear a p0505 code u think?

My 4.7 runs rough and lean at a stop could it still be this sensor

Unbelievable that someone charged you $150 to do that, my quote was $225 for labor! Thank you for this video, you saved me $225 I did it myself very easily!

Thank you I'll try to replace mine

Awesome, saved me $$$

Thank you!

If you remember mutual of Omahas wild kingdom. This sounds just like him except the wild beast in it's natural habitat is the Durango. Great video

I've just cleaned my throttle body in my 2K Dakota (OMG), should I check my TPS sensor for dirt? My rpm seem pretty stable.

Great video, super easy to follow! A couple things, though. Are you supposed to disconnect the ( - ) terminal when doing this? Also, I read somewhere else that you should reset the computer by disconnecting the ( - ) terminal and then turn the key and hold it there for 15 seconds. I will probably do what I just mentioned anyway as I don't think it could hurt, but wondering what you did.

I have a 2006 4.7L v8 Durango and I recently had the battery disconnected. After we reconnected the battery, the idle has been fluctuating, and it would even shut off at times. Do you think the TPS could be the problem?

Thanks for this great video! Makes it simple. Could this also be the problem when a car cuts off moving at low speed. That is a another problem with the Durangos. If anybody can help but appreciate it. I have a 2000 Dodge Durango 4.7, basically the same as Dakota. Thanks folks!

My Durango seems to be acting up at most when I'm a stop, proceed and the transmissions almost seems confused when shifting into another gear, once at a consistent speed the problem seems to go away.. could this be my fix here?

Thanks to you

Would it be okay to not put on the new gasket that comes with a new TPS? or would it cause problems?

Hey Robert, I recently replaced my battery and have since started having problems with the throttle increasing while sitting in park at idle and also just cutting out when at 55 mph and speeding up. It just cuts out. I floor it and it kicks back in again and is OK for a little while then does it again. I checked the ohms rate with a meter while slowly increasing the throttle. It doesn't have any dead spots that I could see on the meter. Volts going to the sensor is 4.5. Ohms at idle is.5. engine off. I increase the TPS and the ohms decrease as it should. Could it be the MAP? I checked voltage to that and it is 5.0 volts. The ohms output with engine off is .976. I know the TPS and the MAP work together to supply the right amount of fuel. I'm told there is no MAF sensor on this engine.

Thank you so much just change Minds today. About to go do a test drive see how it does on the corner let the car warm up but thank you for the video keep making more man you help me out a lot. thank you.

I know nothing about trucks but if my truck complete shuts off when I go from reverse to drive, will this also fix the problem?

Should I do this? My 02 Durango idles low and stalls after I cleaned the battery terminals. I regret it because it was running perfect before I cleaned em.

Great tutorial! I'm wondering, was the problem solved simply by replacing the TPS? Thanks.

I have a 2009 Dodge Durango Hybrid. While driving to work, my car shut off. I looked it up and it’s a throttle control system. Is it the same thing?

Please tell me, what is that hose above the sensor, the one on my girlfriend's car is cracked and I need to replace it but I cannot find it for the life of me.

Should you disconnect the battery first. when disconnecting and connecting the plug. Dont want any static discharge. on electonics

Kevin Darby, for some reason I'm unable to reply directly to your question. Hopefully you still see this. In regards to your question: On our Durango, anytime the battery was disconnected the computer module would have to re-learn our driving habits and such. It also effected the idle if I remember right. But, it only took a day or so of driving before it figured things back out. If you have been driving yours for a while since the battery was re-connected, and the idle is still fluctuating a lot, than possibly it could be the TBS.

How long does it take for the check engine light to turn off?

does anything else need to be disconnected before replacing such as the battery? i saw someone disconnect the negative.

IS CALIBRATION NEEDED AND IF SO WHATS THE STEPS ON BY ONE PLEASE

Perfect

hello, I am wondering... my 2001 dodge durango will start but died immediately if I am not pressing the gas pedal down. I have replaced the IAC valve to no avail. could replacing the TPS possibly fix my problem?? thanks for ANY advice you can give because I am at a loss 😵

Ihave a Dodge Durango 2005 .the rpms won't go over 27k .I went to AutoZone and had a code come back that it's the throttle control sensor needed to be replaced.so I did .but it's still doing the same thing and reading the same code.is there a way to recalibrate your throttle control sensor?

Thank you what's the rpm supposed to idle at

HI Robert, I have an 01 dakota with a 4.7 v8 that's idling high at start up and has a few erratic rpms while idling. I noticed that on other how-to videos the TBS you show here is described as the IAC? Is the IAC different? if so, can you show where and how to replace it? Many Thnx for your appreciated and clear vids!...@

I have a 4.7 dodge Dakota it will only stay running if I keep my foot on the gas it won’t idle do you think if I replaced this sensor it would fix my issue

Did get any improvement in fuel economy after installation?

What if I strip one of the mount screws and get it out?

Can carbon build up effect the tps sensor?

What’s the one directly under that one?

Next time you need let ppl know that the tps might need a hard reset that only sometimes that can only be performed at a professional shop.

what is the bottom sensor

I've been through many new sensors after my old one went bad and none of them work

Thanks !

I tapped my TPS with an ink pen and the rpms jumped a bit.

Amazon is cheap. But rockauto parts. Is half price of Amazon

u forgot to turn it on an test it....

Ok mines at like 6 700

Excellent. Better to do it yourself and use your money to put your own kids through college and not your mechanic's kids...
