Is this the Throttle Position Sensor? 88 E150 302 V8

No, that's the IAC, or idle air control valve.

 

Thanks! In relation to the IAC in the picture where would the TPS be located - I realize it might not be showing here?

 

TPS is on the bottom of the throttle body. Can't see it in the pict.
So left and down. Directly centered under the throttle opening.

 

you can see a bit of the wiring going to the tps

 

I think I located it. How do you change that if it goes bad? Looks like a tough fix.

That's it.
Two screws hold it in place.
Remove screws and remove sensor. If they are hex-head, then a small ratchet should fit in there easy enough.
Don't recall type of screw...
If you did have a problem getting to it, then remove the four bolts holding the throttle body on. Turn the throttle body so you can get to the sensor easier. Shouldn't be necessary to disconnect anything from the throttle body while doing this.

I don't recall having to do that...

 

Cloim - I did notice a couple of screws but they looked like the might be for the hard lines near them. Thanks

Wiz427 - Sorry - didn't think picture posting was not allowed. I will mend my ways!

 

Wiz427 - I had pictures posted in other threads - I took them all down.

 

All you have to do is either put them in your gallery or post the link to them. Posting a pic uses a lot of bandwith.

 

I understand - thanks!
