• To undertake this kind of repair, the first thing you are going to need are a selection of torx bits, (screws that have a small star in the center).
• You will need to remove the air filter housing.
• Once you have done this, you will see that the throttle position sensor is screwed into part of your throttle's body. This will be easy to identify because of the wires running into it.
• The throttle position sensor will be adjustable and set in idle position, but you will be able to remove it easily.
• Remove it with care and load the new throttle position sensor in its place.
• Follow the instructions that came with the new sensor if you are unsure what to do or be sure to ask someone at the place where you bought it from.
Replacements can be bought at the majority of automobile stores. Ask one of the store's team members if you cannot locate one as they may have to order it in stock for you.
