There is no way to repair the throttle body positioning sensor. It has to be replaced if you find out that it is bad. Simply remove and replace.

Remove the air cleaner first. Using the 1/4 inch drive remove the throttle position sensor. New throttle position should be installed. Screw the new bolts and tighten them.

Disconnect the cable. Separate the air inlet. Take the throttle linkage shield. Pull the accelerator&speed cables. Take the throttle body. Separate the gasket. Set a new gasket with the throttle body. Position the mounting nuts. Connect the TPS and IAC valve wiring connectors. Reconnect the speed control&the accelerator cables. Replace the throttle linkage shield. Replace the air inlet tube. Tighten the clamps.
