Throttle Position Sensor Overview

The NTK throttle position sensor TH0128 is a throttle body mounted sensor built for precise throttle input monitoring. It uses a plastic housing, a 3-terminal blade connection, and a single oblong female connector for a direct electrical interface.

Compatible With Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger, Ford Aerostar, and Mazda B4000 applications listed below, this NTK sensor is part of the NTK Throttle Position Sensor line. The TH0128 is engineered under NTK’s OE-focused sensor program and is tested for thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification.

Key Features

• Throttle body mounted design for direct throttle signal measurement
• Plastic sensor body with one oblong connector and blade terminals
• 3-terminal, female connector layout for the specified application
• NTK technical sensor construction backed by OE application experience
• Part number TH0128 for accurate catalog matching

Detailed Description

NTK TH0128 is a throttle position sensor for vehicles that require accurate throttle angle feedback to the engine management system. It is listed for 1995-2001 Mazda B4000, 1996-2000 Ford Explorer, 1995-2000 Ford Ranger, and 1996-1997 Ford Aerostar applications, with one 1995 Ford Explorer fitment noted for stamping # F57F-9B989-AA. This part cross-references Standard Ignition TH180 and Beck/Arnley 158-1255 for the same application.

As part of the NTK Throttle Position Sensor line, TH0128 reflects NTK’s focus on OE-style sensor coverage for import and domestic vehicles. The sensor is manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications and is validated through thermal shock, vibration, and OBD testing.

Common Replacement Uses

• Throttle signal errors that affect engine response
• Unstable idle caused by incorrect throttle input
• Delayed acceleration response from a worn sensor
• Check engine light concerns related to throttle position feedback
• Driveability issues tied to inconsistent throttle readings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and throttle body mounting before installation. Confirm the application note for the 1995 Ford Explorer stamping reference before ordering. Match the part number TH0128 to the vehicle listing to avoid fitment errors.

Quality Assurance

NTK draws on more than 80 years of automotive experience and OE sensor development. TH0128 is tested under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification conditions to support OE-level specification control.
