Beck/Arnley Throttle Position Sensor P/N:158-0496
Beck/Arnley 158-0497 throttle position sensor for the 1991-1992 Toyota Corolla 4-cylinder 1.6L and other vehicles reports the throttle angle to the engine computer.
When a throttle position sensor fails, the computer gets a wrong throttle reading, which can show up as an uneven idle or hesitation. Other parts can produce those signs too, so with the engine off, look over the sensor's connector and wiring for corrosion or damage before you replace it.
This sensor is made to match OE form, fit and function on the 1991-1992 Toyota Corolla 4-cylinder 1.6L, the 1991-1992 Ford Escort 4-cylinder 1.8L and the 1991-1995 Mercury Tracer 4-cylinder 1.8L. This listing is one sensor, and a 1991-1995 Mercury Tracer 4-cylinder 1.8L takes one. If your car is not among those three, open the Buyer's Guide tab and check your exact model and engine there.
