Holden Monaro V2 CV6 3.8L V6 L67 Throttle Position Sensor CTPS131
Direct Fit Replaces 94580175
BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* throttle position sensor for Holden Monaro V2 CV6 3.8L V6 L67 Supercharged.
The Monaro V2's supercharged Ecotec V6 leans heavily on an accurate throttle signal to manage boost delivery - once the TPS starts to drift, the ECU pulls timing and the coupe loses the crisp throttle response it's known for. This replacement is built to OE reference 94580175 for a direct plug-and-play fit. Dispatched same or next business day from Cranbourne VIC.
TO SUIT
Fits the Holden Monaro V2 coupe fitted with the 3.8L V6 L67 Supercharged Ecotec engine, produced from December 2001 to August 2003.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR
On the supercharged L67, the PCM uses the TPS signal alongside boost and airflow data to time fuel enrichment under load - it's a bigger part of how this engine protects itself than on the naturally aspirated Commodore V6, since the PCM is constantly cross-checking throttle position against the Eaton supercharger's output.
A drifting sensor on the Monaro V2 typically shows up as inconsistent boost-related surge, a flat spot low in the rev range, or the 4L60E automatic holding gears too long or shifting harshly as the transmission control module second-guesses the throttle input.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE
- Fault codes P0120 / P0121 / P0122 / P0123 / P0124
- Inconsistent boost delivery or a flat spot under acceleration
- Rough or hunting idle
- Harsh, flared or delayed automatic transmission shifts
- Vehicle entering limp mode or showing reduced engine power
- Hard starting or erratic idle once the engine is warm

What fault codes does a faulty TPS trigger?
A faulty throttle position sensor typically triggers codes P0120 to P0124. P0120 and P0121 indicate the TPS signal is out of range, P0122 and P0123 indicate the signal is too low or too high, and P0124 indicates an intermittent signal. On drive-by-wire vehicles additional codes related to the electronic throttle control system may also be present.
Can a faulty TPS cause my automatic transmission to shift incorrectly?
Yes. The ECU shares throttle position data with the transmission control module to determine when to upshift and downshift. A faulty TPS sending incorrect throttle angle data can cause erratic shift points, harsh gear changes, the transmission hunting between gears, or the vehicle remaining in a fixed gear. Replacing the TPS often resolves transmission behaviour issues that appear unrelated.
Is it safe to drive with a faulty throttle position sensor?
It depends on how severely the sensor has failed. A partially failed TPS may cause hesitation and poor throttle response but the vehicle remains driveable. A fully failed TPS on a drive-by-wire vehicle can trigger limp mode, restricting the engine to a fixed low throttle position to prevent runaway acceleration. In either case replace the sensor as soon as possible as the fault can worsen without warning.
What are the symptoms of a faulty throttle position sensor?
Symptoms include jerky or hesitant acceleration, rough idle, unexpected surging, poor throttle response, stalling, and fault codes P0120-P0124. Drive-by-wire vehicles may also enter a limp mode limiting engine power.
Can I clean a throttle position sensor instead of replacing it?
TPS sensors are sealed units and cannot be cleaned or adjusted reliably. If the sensor is producing erratic signals or fault codes, replacement is the correct solution. Attempting to clean or adjust it usually results in continued faults.
Do I need to calibrate the throttle position sensor after replacement?
Many vehicles require a TPS calibration or throttle body relearn procedure after replacement. This is usually done with an OBD2 scanner or by following a specific ignition on/off sequence. Check your vehicle's service manual or contact us for guidance.
