What happens here

With the old sensor removed, carefully align the new Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and insert it into the throttle body. Ensure it seats properly and the mounting holes align. Use the specialized bolts and the ratchet wrench to secure the new sensor firmly in place, but do not overtighten. Finally, reconnect the electrical connector to the new TPS sensor. Push the connector firmly until you hear or feel a click, indicating a secure connection.

Goal: Secure the new TPS sensor and connect its wiring
