Auto Parts: Throttle position sensor, throttle position sensor, accelerator pedal
QuestionWhere is the tps located on a 2008 hyundai 3 liter engine?
Answer I've looked through my catalogs and cannot find a 3.0L engine listed for any 2008 Hyundai. So I'll just deal in generalities. This vehicle almost certainly has a drive-by-wire system. A sensor located on the accelerator pedal assembly tells the computer what you want, and the computer moves the throttle by means of a small motor. Cars so equipped, which is most cars now, use the sensor on the pedal as the throttle position sensor. In a way, there is no TPS on these cars, because a TPS was used by the computer to determine the throttle position. Now the computer no longer listens to the TPS, it TELLS the throttle what to do.
