The rotor plate ispositioned' betweentheLED andthephoto

Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensorresponds tothe accelerator pedal
movement. Thissensor isakind ofpotentiometer whichtrans-
forms thethrottle position intooutput voltage, andemits the
voltage signaltothe ECM. Inaddition, thesensor detects the
opening andclosing speedofthe throttle valveandfeeds the
voltage signaltothe ECM.
Idle position ofthe throttle valveisdetermined
by
the ECM
receiving thesignal fromthethrottle position sensor.Thisone
controls engineoperation suchasfuel cut.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The fuel injector isasmall, precise solenoid valve.Whenthe
ECM supplies aground tothe injector circuit,thecoil
in
the
injector isenergized. Theenergized coilpulls theneedle valve
back andallows fueltoflow through theinjector intotheintake
