Closed throttle position sensor.

Anyone ever replace it before? I got the check engine light for the second time on this. Could anything else trip this? I did tighten the throttle cables about 2 years ago. I assume is a simple swap and go type of deal.

the TPS?
read the FAQ noob... jk
replacing it is simple, just unscrew the two screws.
But you will need to adjust it for proper signal.
PM me if you need more info.

Good thing I have an used one sitting around. That's what I'm afraid of...adjusting it to get the right voltage. I like plug and play

Its not bad at all, just look in the FSM for the right resistance. Its kind of fun really. You can also adjust it while its running. Dont know if its bad or not, but makes thing more interesting.

Those screws on the TPS is going to be hard to break loose. I don't think I can take it off without totally taking the throttle body off.
