Re: What do u call it??? (LS Boostin)
Sometimes it's because of a vague description. TPS & IACV are both on the back there. A picture would be good...
The throttle-position sensor sits on the throttle shaft. Directly opposite from the throttle-cable drum, so it's on the throttle body (not the manifold). It measures the physical position of the throttle.
The idle-air-control valve is a small motorized valve on the back of the manifold (it's not a sensor). It's job is to let a small amount of air bypass the throttle when idling. It keeps adjusting itself to hold a steady idle rpm.
