(I had to drill the TPS blots off and used power drill to break off the heads of the phillips screws. They were stuck for some reason and rounded off.)

Step 6 If your screws were stuck also and you popped off the head, Come up with a way to get the screws out. I bent the screw to be able to grip it better to therefore get it to rotate. (If came out easily Skip to 7)

Step 7 Install new TPS make sure to have it catch right by turning it a 1/4 turn clockwise then rotate into place. Re-plug everything you unplugged back in and re-install intake.
