what kind of screw holds the tps ?

 

its a stud, you have to notch it with a hacksaw or a rotary tool and then take a flat head and turn it.

It's easier if you take the throttle body out, especially if your working with hack saw.

the overpaid engineer that though only 40 in/lb was a great torque for it and made the bolts break on purpose at that torque. i have since replaced mine with hardware store stuff for ease of removal.

Hmmmm, sounds like fun, working backwards in a mirror . oh wait, wonder if my dentist is busy this afternoon ....

 

hahaha, new color, or new clear, not too dificult is it, should be able to find it in the dick shun hairy in the ly-berry.

 

Boosted, do you remember the size of the replacement screws ? I'm low on metric stuff and if I "screw" it up i'll need replacements myself.
Does breaking the old tps work ? I'm replacing it as it has a flat spot off idle.
Got the gasket, but no screws.

 

lol, never thought about that one.. taking it to the dentist.

 

evosix, I just love that avatar .......

 

yea, that was me years ago! as far as breaking the tps to take it off i wouldn't do it, just be patient and notch the studs properly, they turn into regular screws if done right, it may take 30 mins at the most.

 

i think i got mine off of a single cam that had torx i cant remember. 8 years ago.
