    Where can i find the Throttle Position Sensor on

    Follow the black hose from the air cleaner to the intake manifold. On one side of the transition, you will see where the accelerator cable attaches to a mechanism to open the throttle plate. On the opposite end of the shaft connected to the throttle plate is the throttle position sensor. There are a couple of wires coming out of it.
