Position feedback errors in a modulating loop? Check the potentiometer first. When the wiper wears or loses contact, the controller sees a position that doesn't match the valve.
The result is hunting, poor air-fuel ratio, or a lockout that looks like a control fault. Replacement means matching resistance range, shaft coupling, and rotation angle to the actuator's travel.
The Potentiometers collection covers common servo and actuator types.
