z6 throttle body question
when i was pulling my motor out, chain got hung up and motor fell against the back of the firewall...and busted the sensor that is rivited in the back of the throttle body i think it is the tps sensor....now is that sensor plug changable or not? and if so how do you change it? or just better to get a new throttle body?

Re: z6 throttle body question
they are 8mm bolts that screw into to the throttle body with no heads on them. take a small thin sharp chisel make a nice groove across the smooth head and hit it around with a small flat head screwdriver loosens right up.How i remove them i'm sure there are easier ways , but this way has worked well for me.

Re: z6 throttle body question
also if you just finishing breaking the tps off you can get a pair of vise grips. Once the headless bolts are broken loose they normally come on out. At least on my two engines.

Re: z6 throttle body question
i have gotten it worked out already thank you the hammer screw driver method worked just fine...it's not throwing any code for tps now but the gasket i put back on was ripped...does this hold vaccume? the car has a issue idling at times or could it be the tps needs adjusting
