Caterpillar 266-1466 is the rotary throttle position sensor on a long sleeved harness with a Deutsch style plug. It is used on Caterpillar machines. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Engine will not rev or stays at low idle
A failed throttle position sensor sends no pedal or lever signal, so the engine controller holds idle. Check the fault codes first.
Surging or erratic engine speed
A worn sensor track gives a jumpy signal and the engine speed hunts. A new sensor gives a clean signal again.
Fitting tips
Unplug the old sensor, fit the new one in the same position on its pedal or lever, plug it in and check the full travel on the service display.
