Throttle Position Sensor - how do you get it out?
Tozo suggested changing out my Throttle Position Sensor. I’m game. Pulled the engine cover and the air intake hose, and can see the TPS on the back of the throttle butterfly housing. How the heck do you get it out? I can’t even tell what fasteners it uses, and after 21 years they look pretty rotten from the little I can see of the top one, but I’m not sure that matters because there’s about an inch of clearance back there total, so it seems impossible to get a tool on them anyway. [I cannot even see the lower fastener.] Is there some trick the ignorant owner can use to remove the TPS? Thanks for any advice, Z 98 A8Q 144k

You have to remove the throttle body
I think you need a 6mm Allen. Then a Phillips #2.
