Lean over the engine from the driver's side with a good light. Look behind the throttle body. look where the round cylinder ends about the middle of the TC. Now look a little lower and you should see most of the TPS. It's held in position by two small phillpis head screws that face straight at the fire wall. You will need a short small phillips to loosen them just a little. Just follow the instructions in the article from here.

The TPS is kind of hidden under the idle air control valve (the cylinder-shaped thing). You'll have to take it off to get access to the TPS. Be sure to have another IAC gasket on hand (I use high-tack sealer too, that might be overkill though), they're easy to break and then you'll have a nasty vacuum/boost leak.
The TPS is mounted to the throttle plate shaft. You can see where it pivots on the front of the throttle body by manually moving the throttle bracket. The TPS is mounted across from that spot. You'll need a short screwdriver to loosen its screws since it is pretty close to the firewall. Good luck!

I don't remove the IAC to set mine. I also make new IAC gaskets from cardboard. Cereal box cardboard works just fine - thanks GT
