Removal
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Disconnect the trottle postion (TP) sensor electrical connector.
3. Caution: Failure to remove the TP sensor screws in the following manny will result in damage to the screws. First loosen the 1-2 full turns using a hand tool and then use a suitable high-speed driver to complete the removal

Remove and discard the 2 screws and the TP sensor.
Do Not reuse the screws

NOTE: When installing the new TP sensor, make sure that the radial locator tab on the TP sensor is aligned with the radial locator hole on the throttle body.

lastly you need to check to see how the throttle linkage is held on.. i installed one on a members stand and his just so happened to have a full plastic connector in place with no easy removal and a locking metal tab while mine does not..
