Image of carbon film vs metal film Resistors are essential components in every electric circuit. They are designed to resist the normal flow of electric current in a particular circuit, and there are reasons why this resistance matters. Like most electronic components, resistors have undergone a series of evolution. The materials used to make resistors…
Image source Your mechanic As a key electronic component in a vehicle, the main function of a throttle position sensor (TPS) is to monitor the exact position of the throttle valve for the optimum performance. A well-positioned throttle valve will ensure that the engine performs well when required. Knowing the relevance of a throttle position…
