Detailed Description

NTK TH0100 is an emission control sensor used to report throttle position to the engine management system. Accurate throttle input is important for drivability, fuel control, and emissions performance, especially in older Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury platforms that rely on precise sensor feedback. This part number, TH0100, is cataloged for multiple 1990s applications, including Ford F-700, Ford F-Super Duty, and Ford Ranger models.

NTK positions this throttle position sensor within its technical sensor line, backed by OE supplier experience and validation that includes thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification. The brand’s sensor program is built to consolidate coverage under one premium line while maintaining OE-level application support.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition TH80 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Erratic throttle signal output
• Delayed or inconsistent throttle response
• Driveability concerns tied to throttle position feedback
• Emissions-related sensor faults
• Replacement of a worn throttle-body-mounted sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and throttle-body mounting before installation.
