Can anyone tell me how to remove the TPS sensor from a throttle body? Sounds like a noob question but there do not seem to be any nuts holding it on from the outside. Thanks in advance guys/gals!

 

anyone? i was told maybe clips? are there any screws?

 

have you looked?

 

i looked at it last night. there do not seem to be any nuts. looks like clips. holding it on. i have to take two off of seperate throttle bodies and re-install one. i just want to know the proper way to take them off

 

Firts take your trottle body off, then use a dremal or any kind of grinder with a thin cuting wheel, next cut a single slit threw the middle of the stock srews on the tps, but not to deep and big enough for a flat head screw driver to fit, then just use the flat head to remove it, then replace the stock srews with diffrenet screws that fit.

 

I read on another post awhile back that the tps is riveted on and u have to drill out the rivet's ot change them

contrasting opinions...

anybody know for sure?

 

I work at a honda shop i know how to do it i do it all the time, the two things on the back of the tps or screws cut a thin slit in the middle so that you can put a flat head screw driver and then losen them, but make sure you mark the way it cam off so that you can put it on the right way that way you dont get a check engine light and when you cut the stock screws off replace them with hex bolt.

 

I have to change tps sensors all the time when i do motor swaps, because half of the time I get motors with them broken

 

or just take a good set of vice grips and twist it off then replace with new bolts.

 

thank you very much. looks like i need a little grinder.
