It is on the throttle body. If you have the traction control they both look alike. If not there should be only one, and it should have a plastic/metal cover.

qmtran,

Please use the search function.

Take a look at these photos, the bar clears the TPS and sticks out because these guys hacked on it.

Also, this is not a radiator cap installation where you just pop it off and pop new one back on. You need some test equipment and electrical meter to set the thing to zero. Without the manual or a ton of experience, you will have issues.

Which car do u have? SC400 is right at the TB with two (if you have TRaction control) black plastic round with a rectangle tail. Its looks like a black spoon. The round part is about the size of the golf ball.
