Default TPS sensor?

On jegs.com it says that BBK 75mm throttle bodies do not come with it...what exactly is that? does it matter if it doesnt come with it?

it is the black plug that attaches to your tb. it basically is a sensor attached to the blade in the tb which reports throttle position to the computer. its cool your factory one will work its two screws to remove and reattach

be very very very careful when removing the TPS sensor, ford uses Locktite on those screws, and if you dont have the right size phillips head you could risk stripping the screw. dont rush switching over the TPS, take time to make sure its lined up as good as possible so you dont have idle problems in the future
