    TPS Sensor Removal/Install

    I purchased some new sensors to fiix my hesitation/lean WOT/backfires...

    What is the easiest way to get off the lower torx screw? The arm to the radiator fan is in the way (if it was 1/4" in another direction it wouldnt be an issue....

    what are you confused about?

    I am changing my TPS sensor and i cant get a torx bit in there because there is not enough room between the screw and the radiator fan.

    hmmm..
    wot backfire is usually associated with lean condition or spark plugs (wires & plugs new? -- gapped at .028-.030 ?) - what mods do you have
    hanging rpm's is OFTEN a tps issue and resolved with a rewire.

    I think we are confusing TIP for TPS sensors...If you are talking about the TIP (the one in the fender) then you just need to wiggle, jiggle, and tickle it till it comes out. Its a bitch and always end up walking away or bending the metal bracket for ease. If you mean the TPS sensor, just give me call.

    I think i saved your number this time, lol
