Component location

I've got a 1989 Ford Econoline 150 with the 5.0 302, wondering if anybody knows where the Throttle Position Sensor is located? I've searched online but can't find any component diagram pictures.

Not sure of the exact location, but it's going to be part of the throttle body assembly. You are looking for a sensor kind of thing that has 3 wires going to it, and should be inline with the butterfly shaft.

Here's what it looks like on my 96, from the Ford factory manual. Yours should be similar, possibly identical.


302 and 351 throttle body assembly

I have a 93 E150, and replaced the TPS. Had to remove the TB to change it.

So, same as my 97. It's interesting that my shop manual shows the TB rotated 90 degrees from it's actual position on the engine.
