The throttle position sensor on a 2008 Chevy Silverado is located close to the throttle body in the engine compartment. This sensor detects the throttle input, informing the throttle body on how much it should open or close. If there is an issue with the throttle body, you may experience reduced throttle response, indicating a problem with the throttle position sensor's ability to accurately gauge throttle usage. Additionally, a check engine light may illuminate on the dashboard, alerting the ECU to the sensor's malfunction.
