Can you someone tell me where to find the TPS? Is it hidden by anything,
or is it plainly seen. I've taken off the cover, but I can't see anything
that looks like what I bought.

I have put 4 pictures on-line. If you could tell me which picture shows
the TPS, that'd be great. If it's not in the pictures, please tell me
where I can find the TPS. I'm hoping a new TPS will get ride of my P0120
and P0123 codes.

You have to dig alot deeper to find the TPS. If you look at the throttle
spool, and follow the metal rod down to the actual throttle body, which
connects to it on the radiator side.

If you then look to the engine block side of the throttle body, you will see
the TPS, attached via 2 allen set screws and a 3 wire connector. You;ll need
to remove the throttle body (4x 10mm bolts + assorted breather hoses + idle
bypass hose + main air ducting jubliee clip) and get the thing on the bench
to r&r the TPS.

Make sure you re-install with a new gasket.

Tim..
