Manufactured by Motorcraft to meet original equipment specifications, this replacement part aims to match factory fit, function and electrical characteristics so technicians and DIYers can swap it in without lengthy calibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DY1164 improve driveability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a TPS provides correct throttle-angle data, the engine control system can make smoother fueling and timing decisions, which reduces hesitation and improves throttle response. Replacing a worn or failing sensor with the DY1164 can eliminate erratic idle, stalling at low speeds, and uneven acceleration when the sensor was the root cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores consistent throttle input signal to the ECU\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces surging or hesitation during acceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps stabilize idle by sending accurate throttle position data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and systems is the DY1164 compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DY1164 is produced by Motorcraft to match the electrical connector, mounting pattern and resistance curve used on specified Ford powertrains.
