TPS Removal

Does the TPS just pull off, or do you need to remove the throttle body?
It's not in the manual, or on the freshly received workshop CD Rom
Cheers guys

Remove the two small bolts, and it pulls off.

Before removing you do know that it has to set at a certain value when replacing.

Sorry to Hijack the thread, but is there a method of checking the TPS to see that it's working properly?

Thanks

Hmmm, thanks for the link but I've heard it many times on here that the zero=zero procedure is the work of Satan himself! and not recommended

Also, it doesn't actually tell me how to test the TPS

Cheers

I've not had any need to do this - but from memory all you will need is a multi tesster and a screwdriver. do a search and all will be revealed. its a very simple job to adjust.. and even easier to test the voltage.
