installing new tp sensor

autoshopazn · 09-26-2009, 11:50 PM

Hi. Just wanted to know if I can get a breakdown on installing a new throttle position sensor into my truck. Pictures if possible to ease any headaches. Truck information in the signature. Also some instructions that I read had to deal with disconnecting the fuel pump power and running the truck out of gas. Then taking the throttle body up and drill out some spot welds? I'm trying to do this the easy way so that I can bring this truck back up to par again. Thanks!

requires a torx bit and 1/4 ratchet. unplug it from beside throttle body, remove 2 screws, and it slides out. easy as pie. never heard anything of what you are talking about except for dialing a TPS in. never had to do that as all the ones i have gotten are preset, i reckon and didnt have the eccentric holes to allow for adjustment.
