Throttle position sensor. It is on the throttlebody. Tells the ECU how much load the engine is under as well as feedback for a stable idle.

 Don't be misleading, Hector.
No, you don't have to spend $150 to fix it. You can buy one off of fordpartsonline.com for ~$42 and change it yourself. It's only held on by two bolts, IIRC.

yes it is mounted with two screws, mine were very hard to take out so be careful. had to use vice grips to get them out and had to replace them after
