I need to replace this sensor on my engine, It's on the back of the intake manifold. It has some weird type of screws I can't figure out how to take off. Anyone know how?

Lord Yod

That's your throttle position sensor. Not sure what you mean by 'weird screws', aren't they just small bolts?

I think they are sort of like screws without a place to put the screw driver tip (as in no phillips or flat head), is this right? I've heard of this, although mine has screws (IDK why)

maybe file a notch in them and use a flat tip, I don't really know

^thats what i did but i used a dremel

you can actually remove them without modifying them in any way...

just grab around the edges with pliers/vice grips and they will just unscrew

just curious what are your replacing it with? becuase to buy a new oem one you need to buy the whole throttle body

truth

omni makes aftermarket TPS' and a dremel will do fine. mine didn't come out so easy to i had to cut the whole head of the screw off, remove tps and use vice grips on the rest of the screw thats there.

yea I was looking around for them and saw Omni and BLOX seem to be the only aftermarket manufacturers..

Anyone have any experience with either? any problems with either?

sorry for the thread jack but OP's question is answered
