A couple of questions about replacing it that prevented me from trying to take it off to remove the stuck screw on the TPS:
Do the ball joints on the arm to the throttle rail just snap on/off?
How much of a PITA was it to get to the bottom bolt?
It's behind a wiring box that's behind other things and looks like it would have been a real pain to remove. I'm guessing at least one of the screws that secures it is inside the box, so I have to open the cover, all the plastic tabs will crack off, ... |
Ball joints are easy, just pop the lower off and leave the lever arm in place until the new actuator is in place and snap it on.
Bottom bolt is a bit of a pain but if you use a thin wall 1/4 socket along with removing the torx that secures the wire loom, unplug the nearby connection from it and use that extra play to slightly lower it then the job isn't bad. I didn't open it for fear of cracking. Also unbolt the idle control valve along with that. Adds 5 minutes tops.
I saw that the tps fixed it which is great! Just figured I'd answer for future searches.
