Question about BP throttle body

Post by 94drumx3 »

There are two sensors on the throttle body
What are they both?
it was to my knowledge that the one on the right in this picture was the idle air flow sensor or something like that...??

The bottom one should be the IAC valve, and the top right should be the TPS.
