I CAN'T FIND THE TPS ON MY 2002 MAX!!!

I looked at the throttle body and tried to follow it but i searched on here *maybe not as well as others can* but I can't seem to locate this thing..

My tranny doesnt wanna shift and i checked the rev sensors and the next thing it said to check was the TPS... can someone show a pic? or diagram? or at least tell me where it was at?

I thought it was by the fire wall near the Throttle Body but i dont see anything..

Help would be VERY appreciated

it built into the throttle chamber, its all one unit, since its drive by wire, i am unsure if you can check it.

OH jeez........

How do i test to see if the TPS is bad or not?

Is it possible that swapping out the tranny would kill the TPS? because in the book, it said first check the speed revolutionary sensors, then if not that, check the TPS. I really don't know how the TPS would really effect the tranny from shifting out of first gear. kinda crazy...but my idle does act up now and died on me once...

Are you having the same symptoms that i am? Do you have an Auto and does it not shift?

I mean i had 2 tranny's put in, and they both do EXACTLY the same thing.. They just dont wanna shift outta first!... i mean it will Only shift if i keep feathering the throttle and i manually shift the lever. and even then it takes forever...
