Motorcraft DY1164 Throttle Position Sensor

I should have taken my own advice in the title lol. Was running aftermarket TPS on my 2008 Mustang GT for at least a couple years and it worked fine enough, it was all plastic including the inner part that connects to the throttle body, and it looks like it degraded over time badly because my car was hanging RPM on downshifts (literally staying on 3k rpm stuck) and when I hit the brakes, the engine was fighting me and trying to pull the car forward! I had to shut off the car and turn it back on to stop this. I also had the car die on me in traffic on the highway and nearly stall by my neighborhood. To be honest, I thought it was the VCT solenoids failing as there were no codes or anything and the solenoids always fail on me (only use ford for those too and be careful, lots of scams out there) but I replaced the solenoids and the car was still wonky.So back to what I was saying, I pulled the aftermarket TPS sensor off my car, there was plastic dust in the sensor area of the throttle body from where it was degrading, I popped this sensor in and immediately the idle was better. I killed the active memory (can use tuner or disconnect battery for that) and then did the idle relearn procedure: handbrake up, let engine run till warm then 5 minutes past that idling, then turn on AC on full blast for another 5 minutes, then I did a drive around town and came back so the car could relearn how to shift and drive properly. Car runs so good now, I thought there was something wrong at first because of how smooth and quiet the idle was, its nice.OH and I reused the old bolts because the throttle body was not liking the new bolts with the locktite, it was getting stuck. Just reuse your old bolts, it'll be fine.

Don't get an aftermarket one for more money. Also you need a big L torx to get this off. Very hard if you got a super charger. Works great. Don't forget to twist the inside so it fits. Easy to install.

No quedo a mi Ford Explorer 2004, pero sigue siendo de muy buena calidad.

Only problem was the enclosed screws. They were wrong pitch on threads in throttle body. I was able to use the factory screws.

Bought this to replace my old OEM TPS sensor on my '09 Ford Mustang GT. These are the 3rd gen revision (latest design revision...) of Ford TPS sensor in which Ford has improved their accuracy, quality, fidelity & reliability over the earlier 2 design revisions (the original 1st gen w\ rounded end & slanted sides, 2nd gen w\ rounded end & straight sides). My old 1st gen OEM TPS sensor was losing fidelity at the lower voltage scale range (where most daily driving occurs from idle to approx. 2,000 RPM's) causing slower & erratic throttle response on throttle tip in, excessive delayed throttle return to idle & excessive throttle hunt at idle. Replaced it w\ this unit & it really made a difference in idle (smoothed idle out, engine idle very steady now), throttle response (better TPS signal fidelity helps PCM make more accurate LOAD calcs using MAF data so better fueling & spark timing delivery thus improves engine responsiveness) & virtually no engine RPM lag now back down to idle speed from throttle deceleration....had to reacquaint myself w\ the car as the improved throttle response made the car very touchy to drive initially!This is the FoMoCo TPS sensor to use as a replacement on any Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles that uses this style of TPS sensor, period.

I was skeptical when this arrived and not only did it rattle, but the metal receptacle that fits over the shaft of the throttle body seemed very loose. Okay, I'm thinking potentiometer here...old school that the contact must stay tight against each other. Guess not.This only rotates 180 degrees so I made sure that when installed, the throttle body shaft would be able to rotate without the tps locking up because it was at the end of its travel.Works perfectly so far and has cured a lot of drivability problems.

This new TPS is working great! The old one(with a round head) on my 06 Mustang GT has some issues when I hit cruise control in a cold morning. It will make the car keep increasing speed until it falls into safety mode and loses its power. When I was trying to take the old one off, it was really a nightmare! Those two little torque screw just won't come off! I tried to heat it up and still broke both of the screw in the hole. Finally I have to drill them out and still, the blue locktite won't come off from threads on the throttle body. I have to drill a bigger hole and redo the threads and use a bigger screw to install this new TPS! luckily this new one works great. You might experience a little high idle rpm but it will come down when the engine heat up a little bit. No need of adjusting TPS voltage.

Did not work for throttlebody.This unit is a bad design.Do not buy this item. Find something elseGood luck people
