Why do you have to replace both of them?

It's only two screws. Try and make sure you put the new sensor back in the same position as the old one. There is a voltage spec but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.

i found this DIY while surfing the net. It describes both the "book" method and the "backyard mechanic" method.

Yah, I did my TPS adjustment just right around 600-650 and when I shift, the car doesnt vibrate when it's on gear either reverse or drive. My idle used to be really crappy like 200 vibrates like a message chair.
SMOOTH!
