I have a 96 d16y8 honda civic and I know the issue with the motor.. I need to replace the Throttle position sensor my question is how do I remove the sensor because there are no heads to the screws.. And once taken off how do I reinstall another one.

usually you change the whole throttle body with another one. if you really have the time and patience, you can drill out the rivets (or dremel in a flat line and use a flathead to unscrew them), then replace the tps and use a multimeter to calibrate the voltage readings. not for the average diy mechanic, esp when used whole tb on ebay is $50 or less.

my sensor went out on my car as well. some mechanics have a hard time doing them. they said it is pretty difficult. and it sure did cost a pretty penny.
