pic of TPS, but which one
Ive read through lexls.com tutorials many a time, on the guide to adjusting the tps i see only one sensor on the front of the throttle body, i'm pretty sure that the sensor closer the to the manifold is the tps but can you guys clarify what the other is? looks the same, has the same adjustable setup.

Bummer, those screws shouldn't be in so tight that they're stripped.....hmm. Maybe go over to Sears and buy a screw out set, hopefully that will work. Otherwise, keep at it with a pliers.

well i got the screws loose with a very sharp phillips head, but now the problem is their isnt enough to torque down the screws so if i gun the throttle quick the tps gos to max....but as an interesting observation if i set the cruise control and clance it the quick thottle snap turns the tps all the way down to 450-500 rpm idle, so i'm going to drive it on down to homedepot on my lunch break in about 50 minutes here and pick up some new screws, im either going for hex screws or 8mm head bolts. No more stripping ever again i hope. but when the tps was adjusted to 650rpm idle it was much smoother on the freeway and cruise control didnt jerk the car when it was cancled. Before adjustment my idle was probably around 480-500
