I'd trying to find instructions on changing the TPS on my 'Bird, but I can't find any anywhere. I don't need to adjust it, I need to remove the old one and put a new one in!!!
If anyone can help me out, post it here.
Thank you!

You can just remove the two screws that hold it on and unplug the connector to it. The screws face the firewall and are about impossible to see. It may be easier if you remove the IAC (cylinder like thing on the back of the throttle body), then you can see the TPS under it. Look at the new TPS before removing the old one. Look at the side that mounts to the throttle body, it has a rotating part in the center with a protruding straight line tang on it that has to line up specifically to a slot inside the TB. Note which way the adjustment slots are positioned as you remove the old one. Get the tang in the slot then rotoate the TPS a little to get the screws back in the screw slots. Put the screws in firm enought to hold it but loose enough that you can move it for adjusting it. Put the IAC back on. Then set it per the article in the Technical Articles .
