Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Cars / April 20092004 buick lasabre tps removal
hi, my 04 lasabre died yesterday and i want to check to see if the throttle position sensor is mechanically ok so i can try to get the car to a shop to read the flashing service engine lite codes. however, it has "security" screws holding it in place. how can i remove the tps and/or where can i get the tool? tia, peter > hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > tia, > peter HI. alt.autos.gm might be a better group. Few people post or read .pontiac any more. The screws... Aren't they ordinary torx 10 ? It would be better to check the tps ON the car. > HI. > alt.autos.gm might be a better group.

I got a set of about 60 tips 1/4" diameter hex for my air ratchet from Home Depot a few years ago. I think it was $20. The ones I have are hex but have a hole in the center for the post. Might not help, but what was the last engine repair you had done? or: what was the last thing done to the car before it "died"? > hi, > my 04 lasabre died yesterday and i want to check to see  SignatureA website is a place, where, when you go there, it does everything possible to distract you, from finding the information you came there to see.- E.W. > Might not help, but what was the last engine repair you had done? > or: what was the last thing done to the car before it "died"? never had issue, (other than dash needles which was fixed 2 months ago), before this. peter There's a good reason to recheck areas of recent repair, experience has shown, while one thing get fixed often other areas, like wiring are "disturbed" or broken. I can tell you that so many times one repair has lead to other items being "broken" or made unreliable around the previous repair area. Not saying this is the problem in your car, but worth checking all the electrical connections around the area where the dash needles were "fixed". >> Might not help, but what was the last engine repair you had done? >> or: what was the last thing done to the car before it "died"? > never had issue, (other than dash needles which was fixed 2 months ago), > before this. > > peter SignatureA website is a place, where, when you go there, it does everything possible to distract you, from finding the information you came there to see.- E.W. > There's a good reason to recheck areas of recent repair, > experience has shown, while one thing get fixed often other [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > all the electrical connections around the area where the dash > needles were "fixed". all behind the dash work but i see your point. thanks |
