unless you go to a junk yard you can't realy buy just a tps. they're not make to come off of the throttle body. your best bet is to change out the throttle body or drill the tps off of another throttle body and replace the broken one.

TPS (throttle position sensor) is on the side of the throttle body (closest to firewall). Uses the exact same size clip as the MAP sensor, but MAP sensor is on top of throttle body.

Re: help!! engine swap?? (murmur9)
it's possible to change out just the TPS, it's just a matter of finding just the TPS itself. i've changed out mine on my b16 cuz when it got pulled from the car, the sensor smacked the firewall. what i did to change it was i took a little die cutter, cut slits into the two headless screws holding the TPS onto the throttle body, and i used a flat head to take off the screws. i found the TPS from a local speed shop around my area and the owner hooked me up with it. that's your best bet, as far as getting just the TPS.
