REMOVAL
The TPS is attached to the throttle body.

INSTALLATION




The TPS is attached to the throttle body. The throttle shaft end of the throttle body slides into a socket in the TPS. When indexed correctly, the TPS can rotate a few degrees to line up the mounting screw holes with the screw holes in the throttle body. If the sensor will not rotate into place, install the sensor with the throttle shaft on the other side of the socket tangs. The TPS has slight tension when rotated to align the mounting holes.

1. Install TPS and mounting screws.
2. Attach electrical connector to the TPS.
