Hey, so i just took my car in and the guy said he replaces both oxygen sensors and my TPS Sensor, and my motor mount, but the next day my check engine light came on and my car was idleing again.

. So im pretty pissed and i think i need a new TPS Sensor again. Im just going to buy my own online this time. Does anyone have instructions on how to replace it?

WHAT YOU NEED

- New TPS
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Flathead Screwdriver/blade/fingernail

STEPS
1. Locate the TPS. It sits on the butterfly axis, so it's DIRECTLY ACROSS from from the plastic "cam" that rotates when you push on the trottle.

2. Using the blade, unplug the old sensor.

3. Use the philips head screwdriver and remove the 2 screws on the tps

4. Wipe surfaces clean

5. Place new tps onto shaft

6. Put two screws back in

7. Re-connect harness

Yes, that's the correct sensor.

Perhaps you should check the code to make sure it's reporting a TPS before you buy another.

indeed... the pic looks like it for sure but i am not sure if the sensor is identical, better check the comptability before buying.
