Re: Throttle Positioning Censor

I'll assume you have the 3.3 or 3.8 ltr engine. Follow the 3 inch diameter air intake duct to the Throttle Body (TB). You'll see two sensors mounted on the TB, the lower sensor is the TPS sensor. You may have to remove the TB to gain access. If you don't have a manual I would recommend you register with the AutoZone website and look up the procedure for your 05. It will show you how to test and replace it.

Far from a hard and fast rule but generally if any sensor fails it should generate a fault code and light up the Service Engine Soon light on the dash. Are you seeing it? You can have your codes checked for free at Autozone.
