So after running 11.5 index a month ago at the nscra event my car through a check engine light in eliminations and fell on its face putting me in the loser spot very quick... Here a month later i finally got to fixing the issue since painting the car came first. Code 7 (tp sensor) was on so i first thought of just replacing the tp sensor. Got one, took the "faulty one" off and oh hey a spring and retainer popped out. Since the spring retainer inside looks to be pressed on my question is this.... Can i put the spring back on correctly and hold the retainer on and put a quick small weld on it? I dont see why not but was curious to see if anyone has done so. Thanks for any help. Also added was a picture for anyone curious on how to remove a tp sensor. Dremel and flat head screw driver, Get deep enough to where the flat head doesnt strip it out and there ya go. Replace with philips/flat/hex whatever for easy removal next time.
