TPS Sensor Location Help

[kong]

Hi Guys,

Check Engine light went on and I got a p0120 code today and noticed RPM issues. Going to go ahead and change the TPS sensor after doing some research here on the forum --

I ordered this:

I just have one question -- can someone point me to where this thing is located on the engine? I'm having difficulty pinpointing it.

It is located on the side of the throttle body facing the rear of the vehicle.

thanks johnbyebye. The fix looks easy but when I got the part and went to my car:

1) i have no idea how I can possibly take off the bottom bolt
2) are these held on by screws or bolts? I can't even tell.

Do you guys have any recommendations on how to take the old one off without removing a bunch of parts from the engine? There are so many valves back there -- I don't want to start removing a bunch of stuff

Held on by screws which strip easily
I got bottom off with a low profile ratcheting right angle screw driver
Good luck
