The TPS is just to the left of where the air filter / intake duct attaches to the throttle body, look for a small rectangular black box ON the throttle body with a couple of wires coming out of it. That should be the throttle position sensor (TPS). Here's my TPS story: a large auto parts chain read my engine trouble codes (DTC: diagnostic trouble codes) and said the TPS was bad. Bought one. Trouble code was erased (they don't erase them anymore) but came back within the week.

No one at the store suggested a can of throttle body cleaner...

* Remove the air intake tubing - 5/16ths nut driver for the clamp and disconnect the air filter housing end. This will provide lots of room to...

* ... Spray down into the throttle body while working the gas / throttle cable back-n-forth, which opens and closes the internals Get the fluid worked into the parts pretty thoroughly.

Tip: use a toothbrush - preferably one you're not going to use anymore - and scrub around where the moving plate meets / sits against the body.

* Start the car and then generously spray all around.

I did it on my 98 Sable, and no more check engine light - and more importantly, no more dangerous high idle.

It will be somewhere on the throttle body If it is like the '91, there are two bolts holding it in place, just undo those, and pull it out, then unhook the wires, plug the wires into the new one, and install it, being careful to keep it aligned the way the old one was when you removed it.
