Standard Ignition TH450 Throttle Position Sensor

Throttle Position Sensor for Ford and Lincoln

Standard Ignition TH450 is a direct-fit throttle position sensor replacement for select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. It restores accurate throttle valve angle feedback to the ECU, helping maintain smooth engine response and efficient fuel control.

Built with quality construction and a plug-in female connector, this TH450 throttle position sensor lets you replace the damaged sensor without replacing the entire throttle body assembly.

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement throttle position sensor
• Female connector with plug-in design
• 6-terminal layout with male blade and pin terminals
• Supports accurate throttle valve angle communication to the vehicle computer
• Helps restore proper fuel economy and engine performance
• Robust construction for service-professional use

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition TH450 is engineered for vehicles that rely on precise throttle position input for engine management. By sending accurate throttle opening information to the ECU, this sensor helps the system adjust fuel delivery and throttle response correctly. It is a practical replacement when the original sensor is worn, damaged, or sending inconsistent signals. This part cross-references 5S15908 and TPSB10057 for the same application. Fits 2005-2010 Ford F-150, N/A; fits 2007-2014 Ford E-150, N/A; fits 2007-2014 Ford E-250, N/A; fits 2007-2010 Ford Edge, N/A; fits 2008-2011 Ford Focus, N/A; fits 2008-2009 Ford Taurus, N/A; fits 2009-2012 Ford Flex, N/A; fits 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, N/A; fits 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect, N/A; fits 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, N/A; fits 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX, N/A; fits 2009-2012 Lincoln MKS, N/A; fits 2010-2012 Lincoln MKT, N/A; fits 2008-2009 Mercury Sable, N/A.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Erratic or delayed throttle response
• Incorrect throttle position signal to the ECU
• Reduced fuel economy caused by faulty throttle input
• Check engine light related to throttle position sensor faults
• Rough acceleration or inconsistent engine performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This TH450 uses a female plug-in connector with 6 terminals, so matching the original electrical interface is important for proper fitment. Inspect the throttle body and wiring connector for damage before installing the new sensor.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this replacement sensor with durable materials and construction intended to meet the demands of professional service work. The design supports accurate throttle signal transfer and direct replacement service on the listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications.
