Where is the idle throttle sensor located on a 1995 ford windstar?

The 1995 Ford Windstar doesn't have a separate "idle throttle sensor." Instead, its idle speed is controlled by the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and the computer (PCM) working together. The TPS is located on the throttle body.

To find it:

1. Locate the throttle body: This is a large housing connected to the intake manifold. The throttle cable connects to it.

2. The TPS is on the throttle body: It's a small sensor, often mounted on the side or top of the throttle body. It'll have a connector plugged into it. It usually has a small shaft that interacts with the throttle plate.

While there isn't a dedicated "idle throttle sensor," the TPS is crucial for controlling idle speed. A faulty TPS can cause a variety of idle problems. If you're having idle issues, diagnosing the TPS and the PCM is often necessary.
