I just got a code 7 the other day for a bad throttle position sensor, so I am planning on replacing the entire throttle body. Does anyone know how difficult it is to do? Any crucial steps I will need to know about? Thanks in advance!

you know you could just replace it with another dpfi tps sensor right ?
its alittle bit harder than a mpfi tb change cause if i recall the injectors are on the tb so you need to take them off. idk just take off whatever needs to be taken off

Well I was going to just replace the tps sensor but then I found a throttle body for 70 bucks. So how difficult is it to install the throttle body?

For 70 bucks you can buy a MPFI manifold with throttle body, just find another DX TPS at a junk yard and cut grooves into the screw holes and swap it over to yours. It should not cost more than $10.

its screwed on so you need to make slices in the screw and unscrew it. it doesnt look like screw, it looks like rivets or something but its screwed on
