I just recently got a JG throttle body. While removing my stock T/B, I noticed that there are no slots for a screwdriver, nor for a socket, to remove the Throttle position sensor, instead the screw is just covered up in white paint (like it was cut of itentially). I looked it up in the book and it doesn't say anything about removal. Any tips on getting it out? Or do I have to purchase a new one?

you have to cut a slot in it with a dremel tool and a cutoff wheel. You cannot buy the TPS seperate from the T-body from the dealer.

 

I've been wanting to buy a drummel tool for awhile, but I just been putting it off.

 

i've been doing some research on the TPS sensor lately (mine is slightly broken but only sometimes...) here's a couple part #'s from summit, they're holley sensors at about 32 bucks each.. i'm having a hard time even finding a picture though.. any chance theres anybody with access to these parts that could measure them? the TPS sensor is just a variable resistor.. it takes +5v and ground and makes some number between based on how far its turned
