How do I remove this thing!!!??? There are no bolts or anything! It looks like it was riveted on. I would put a picture of it on here but I dont know how.....

Why do you want to remove it, its extremely rare they go bad, what is wrong with your car.

I need remove it because when my buddy was pulling the engine out of the integra he broke off the clip and 1 of the 3 metal connectors inside of the clip.... If I knew how to put an image on here I could show you what I mean..

I know, its broke and needs replaced, good enough.

You mean the TPS, the MAP is held on by 2 screws

yeah you probably mean the tps! is it on the back side of the throttle body?

the map sensor is on the top of the throttle body!

if you need to take the tps off all you have to do is get some good channel lock pliers and try to grip the sides of the what looks like rivets!

they are actually tamper proof bolts.

when they were put on they had a head on them and then they break off so that they cannot be removed easily..

if you were to wanna buy just the tps you would have to buy the whole throttle body.

but if you can get the pliers on there just right you will be able to break the bolts loose and try to find a bolt that fits in it with a head on it!


but in the end you still wont be able to buy just the sensor..
you will need to go to a junk yard and find one and do the same thing.

good luck with it!!

i think the easiter way would be slotting the bolts like flat heads and screwing them out..

ok ya I see what you are talking about with the TPS and yes that is what I was talking about... I started to look the the TB a lil closer and I dont even have a map sensor on it!!! Thats gonna be another $250 to spend on this motor... Ok well thanks for the advice and I will probably have to go to the junk yard to get one TPS...
