Hello,Has anyone had any issues with their TPS sensor? I wanted to take it off today to see how dirty it was and possibly clean it but I couldn't get the damn thing off. It looks like a Torx bit but I obviously didn't have the right one. Anyone have any idea the size needed? I'm just wanted if it's the reason for the hesitation and low gas mileage. Thanks.

yeah. i'm gonna need you to put a cover sheet on that k? did you get the memo?oh wait, you said sensor, not report... nevermind.

Clean your IAC valve.Clean it exactly as shown on MO.Trust me,that will clear your problem up.Plus I sent you another IM.It's a torx head screw,I have a multi bit driver,so I don't know the size.

So after you cleaned yours you had no more hesitation and idle problems and shifting improved?

Ummmmm yeeeaaahh. You seem to be having a little trouble with your TPS report. If you could go ahead and put the new cover on the fax sheet that would be greeeeeaat. And I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Ok, thanks a bunch.
