are you really asking us where the Throttle Position Sensor is?.......

I imagine the Throttle would be a good place to look....

Yes I actually am. There's 2 sensors in that spot that look the same. And thanks for your help because I didn't think to look where the throttle is at, hence throttle position sensor.

Niiiiiicce!
The main TPS is the one on the right, the other is the secondary TPS which is used for the traction control. Use the SEARCH feature at the top of page and put in TPS and you'll get all the info you can imagine like how to change and reset it, what it does, and....oh yeah.....where it's located.

the reason PD was a bit vague with you is we want to try and keep down the simple request that could be answered quicker searching. We have seen lots and lots of people over the years not searching and just being a bit lazy and asking, gets a little old ya know?
I really recommend searching and using the other websites before asking here as you will usually get your answer much faster.

Thanks all.

And welcome.
