Unlike throttle body mounted sensors, this unit is designed for bolt-on installation, offering flexibility during replacement or adjustment. Featuring a single rectangular female connector with three male pin terminals, it ensures a secure and stable electrical connection. The sensor is adjustable, allowing technicians to calibrate throttle response precisely for vehicles such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Ram 1500, and Chrysler Caravan. While mounting hardware and brackets are not included, the bolt-on design simplifies installation on models including the Plymouth Acclaim, Dodge Dakota, and Jeep Wrangler.
