A Peek Inside A Throttle Position Sensor

While looking through some YouTube videos I ran across this, thought it was kinda interesting. Maybe some of you "how does it work?" Guys might want to see it.

This AVE guy is a hoot and covers a lot of tools, industrial equipment and other electronical, chemical and hydraulic stuff, he's a little out of his element on automotive stuff but still interesting to see what's in there.

There's a bit of cussing in the video so Fowl Language Alert!

I’ve watched his tool vids. He has made the Festool koolaid guys have a conniption when he has reviewed some of their worshiped tools. Not sure which is better, the vid or the reaction.

He's definitely not PC when it comes to social or industrial norms but that's part of the fun. He doesn't accept tools from manufacturers for review and is a straight shooter I think. Some of that North of the boarder, French Canadian speak is pretty entertaining sometimes too.

He bought a used hydraulic torquing tool and has been busy destroying thumb wrenches and ratchets lately. Some surprising results.

He also took a gamble throwing 12 volts to it. A lot of the pcm, ecm signals are in the 5 volt range.
