  Service Precautions  
 

CAUTION: Slide the rotary tangs of the TP sensor, rotated one-quarter turn clockwise away from their final installed position, into place over the throttle shaft blade, and then rotate the TP sensor counterclockwise only to the installed position. Failure to install the TP sensor in this manner may result in excessive idle speeds.
