A-Premium Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) for Ford V8 3-Pin — Direct-Fit, Black Plastic, 1985–1997 Fitment

This replacement throttle position sensor (TPS) from A-Premium is built to match original equipment fitment and electrical connections for a range of Ford Bronco, F-Series and Econoline vans. It’s a three-pin, bullet-terminal plastic sensor intended as a plug-and-play option for older Ford V8 applications where the factory TPS has worn or failed. The unit ships with a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee from A-Premium for added buyer confidence.

Which Ford models and engine years does this TPS fit?

The A-Premium TPS supports many model-year ranges across Bronco, F-150, F-250, F-350 and Econoline derivatives equipped with V8 engines. Fitment covers multiple engine sizes (5.0L, 5.8L and select 6.9L) and a variety of chassis and emissions combinations — check specific vehicle details before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

• Bronco 1985–1995: V8 5.0L / V8 5.8L
• F-150 / F-250 / F-350: various 1985–1997 V8 applications (see model-year notes)
• E-150 / E-250 / E-350 Econoline & Club Wagon: 1986–1996 V8 fitments
• Reference OEM numbers included for cross-checking: 12339049, E5TZ9B989B, F1TF9B989AA, etc.

How does this TPS connect and what are the physical specifications?

The sensor uses a single connector with three bullet-style terminals and a female connector gender for a straightforward electrical hookup. The housing is molded black plastic designed to mirror the original unit’s mounting points so you can reuse the factory screws and bracket in most installations.

• Terminal type: 3-pin bullet terminals
• Connector: one female electrical connector
• Material and finish: black plastic housing
• Mounting: OEM-style bolt pattern for direct replacement

Will installing this TPS improve drivability or trigger codes?

Replacing a worn or out-of-spec TPS can restore correct throttle signal to the engine control system and reduce erratic idle, hesitation, or throttle-related fault codes when the issue stems from the sensor. Installation alone won’t fix unrelated faults; if codes persist, test wiring, grounds and engine management components.

• Helps restore accurate throttle voltage and position readings
• Can reduce intermittent idling or surging caused by a failing TPS
• Use a diagnostic scan tool to confirm code clearance after replacement
• Verify compatibility with transmission/emissions notes for certain model years

What should I know about purchase protection and warranty?

A-Premium backs this TPS with a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee to cover manufacturing defects and premature failures under normal use. Keep receipt and order information for warranty claims and follow A-Premium’s return policy if the part does not match your vehicle.

• One-year unlimited-mileage manufacturer guarantee

Who is this for: The A-Premium TPS is intended for owners, mechanics and restoration specialists working on classic Ford V8 vehicles — Bronco, F-Series trucks and Econoline vans from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s — who need a reliable, OEM-style replacement sensor. It’s best for vehicles where the original throttle position sensor shows electrical faults, inconsistent idle behavior, or diagnostic trouble codes related to throttle position. Verify the included reference numbers and your vehicle’s engine and emissions configuration to ensure a correct fit before purchase.
