My Throttle Position Sensor suppose to be easy to find?...& the pictures it shows it being really easy to find? But on mine 1999 V-6 3.8 it's got a metal plate there with 4 rivetts >?? Where's it at?

 

Why are you asking twice?

 

the TPS is part of the throttle assembly and I dont believe it can be replaced on your car without replacing the entire throttle body assembly. I will check to see if it can be replaced and give you a part number if so in just a minute.

OK just checked my company's website and there is no TPS or Throttle body available for our cars. The throttle is all controlled by the computer there is no cable so I dont think that there is really a need for the TPS. I dont know for sure how this system works but "by wire" systems I have worked with in the past use an error signal to sync the resolver (the petal) with the servo (the throttle body) Once the signals (usually a voltage of some sort) cancel each other out the computer knows that the units are both in the same spot. If this is the case then both the petal and the throttle body can be used as the TPS.
