P0122 TPS Gone Bad

Hey guys... I'v read a few posts on this topic but still have a couple of questions...

Most people on the forum reccomended buying an entire new Throttle Body for around 200 but I found the actual sensor by itself for 149 on ebay. Has anyone experienced any problems with this?

Finally, where is this sensor located and how would I go about replacing it myself? I'm tired of throwing money down the drain with the local mechanics.


I have a 2001 Civic LX 2DR
Thanks!

Re: P0122 TPS Gone Bad

I found the location of the TPS on the throttle body. Now the questions becomes how do I replace it? The two "screw" looking things holding it onto the throttle body are pretty much flat faced so they do not have groves for either a hex or a flat head or a phillips... Do I just pop it out?
