ple1ades Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I am trying to get to it it looks like you might have to pull off the full TB to get to it any one have an easy way of getting the TPS out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 If you have one of those 90 degree screwdrivers from Craftsman, they work pretty well. I actually just removed the one from my old intake. If you need one, just gimme a holler! I got like 4 of them:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 on my 88 GL with AC, there wasn't quite enough room to unbolt the TPS and slide it off... So... I took a large file and just started filing away at the bracket for the AC. 1/4" later I had enough room to slide the TPS off This saved removing either the throttle body, or removing the alternator, AC, AC bracket, and whatever else to be able to move those things.

torxxx Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 good idea on filing the brackets down. I will try that on the next one I work on. I like how they used really small screws too so you lose them down in the intake/top of block when you take them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 or....the TPS screws strip. so you end up drilling them out. another favorite of TPS fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzle Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I used to mess with it using a flexible screwdriver, but actually found out is was WAY easier just using on of those short, stubby screwdrivers. The hard part is puting it back on. You'll need a magnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
