My engine code according to AutoZone says there is a problem with the throttle position sensor, either
1. Sensor open or shorted -- replace it.
OR
2. Check connector and wiring.

Where is it? Can I service it myself? I am competent with basic jobs, I've changed my O2 sensors (front and back) but I don't want to undertake any major disassembly by myself.

Thanks,
Henry

The TPS is located on the throttle body. It usually is a 3 wire plug. On some models the TPS is non serviceable and you must replace the whole throttle body. Hopefully, this is not the case on your particular model.

Goodluck.
