Default What sensor is this??
Below is a picture of the 3 sensors on the throttle body. My question is what is the sensor that is above the TPS? I removed it today and it was caked in carbon buildup so I cleaned it up and the car seems to run 100x better now. Car use to stall and the idle wouldn't stay where it should have been.

Sorry, should have read closer. The sensor ABOVE the throttle position sensor is the idle air control
