You can always get a TPS off another throttle body. Do get the rivets out, just drill them out with a drill bit a lil smaller than the rivet size. Thats what we did on mine the first time. Then just find some screws with the right thread size to hold the TPS in place.

But I am still throwing a TPS code, so I just found another LS throttle body with good sensors and will be putting that on when I do the turbo setup and other crap to the car.

I can tell you how to test it out of a Haynes Repair Manual, if you want, just let me know. As for taking it off, it is pretty easy if you take your throttle body off. If you set you TB on its side with the TPS faceing up to you, you can get a hacksaw and make a little cut in the rivet. If you do it right you can then get a flat head screw driver and unscrew the rivets and then pull off the TPS. If you do not want to buy new screws the use the rivets again. hope this helps.

Just swap them out. A used one will cost you maybe $20 including shipping on ebay or at a junk yard.
