<p>When the "check engine" light came on in my truck again, it turned out to be the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_position_sensor">throttle position sensor</a> just like when I very first bought the truck about a year-and-a-half ago. That time, I was able to fix it by spraying contact cleaner on it, but this time that didn't work. I ordered a new part. In this episode I talk while I replace the part and I also talk about the nifty diagnostic tool that I used to get the trouble code and how it sends the information to your smartphone.</p>
