how do you remove the throttle position sensor off the throttle body? there are like two washers/rings holding down the tps but how do you take it off without breaking the sensor? thanks

 

the 2 "washer rings" are probably rivets. you would have to drill them out. I don't know about other JDM motors but on my H22A it has bolts that hold my tps in. On my USDM SOHC 2.2L it was held in by rivets...

 

you have to use a grinder or dremel and put a straight line in it so you can fit a flat head screwdriver in it and unscrew it. that all.

 

Use a dremel with the fiberglass cutter and break the seal on them. Then when you it back on, use some small bolts.
