The TPS sensor is inside the throttle body, you will need to replace the entire unit. What problem are you having?

I think its an electrical issue. Since I was putting the fuse box back because I was putting another transmission. When I got everything put together and tried starting the car. Nothing, no crank but I remembered when I kept the key on secondary and was moving the bundle of wires around and hear a clicking noise coming from on of the bundles going to the fuse box. I opened the top portion of the fuses and saw the smaller boxes and opened that up and thought maybe a wire was in the way when fastening the 7mm bolts. Since everything else looked fine and were in place. Made sure no wires would be in the way when putting the fuse box back together. That worked. Now this time but didn’t do the trick. I know the multi meter said I wasn’t getting power to two of the 20amp fuses and one of them was labeled IP IGN. Figured I make sure all the metal blade pieces that go into the boxes underneath the fuses were making contact. I was using a small glasses flat screwdriver to push from underneath to push outward to make a firmer contact
