Do I have to change out my whole throttle body or can I just change out the sensor?

Hi Pheniox,

Unfortunately you need to change the entire throttle body. The sensor is part of the assembly.

I attached the process for removing it and installing it. Also, a screen shot of the part itself that shows the TPS on the side of the throttle body.

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks
