So i took one off. It sounds loose inside when I shake it. Is that normal?

I've been told Ford uses a lot of locktight,.....bolts are cheap and snap easily.
I have a 2001 Mercury Sable LS,.....Gonna try to replace TPS this weekend without throwing a fit?
Gonna do it with throttle body on car.

I am on here because of this problem. I snapped both right off after being careful (I tried at least). I'm looking for the bolt size I luckily snapped the heads off and could put some small bolts on that I had to re-thread... thus I don't know the diameter and length of the stock bolts. Guessing people are thread locking the heck out of them after installation?

Wouldn't cleaning the throttle plate fix a bad position indication?

[@bangyahead1]

No. Did that and it didnt work.

[@genericdude6551]

@@bangyahead1 Apparently not. I even replaced the TPS and it still reads 20% at idle. It's some kind of law in the computer system.
