TPS screws

[veloguzzi]

Has anyone replaced the screws that secure the TPS to the right throttle body assembly?

 

Mine are full of yellow paint, too shallow to securely fit a proper hex tool, and can only be turned with a small vice grips.

 

I need to replace them.

 

If anyone has a source, I'd appreciate it.

 

 

 

Thanks

They are actually not hex but Torx and it is a good move to replace them with hex fasteners making them so much easier to fettle with a simple 90 degree angled hex tool.

 

The yellow paint is there to help you find the things that need messing with.

you could use a dental pick to remove the paint or remove one screw and go get replacements. Change them one at a time to keep the TPS in it's proper place.

 

Docc, I like the reason for the paint code!

I picked as much of the paint off as I could, still could swear those are hex heads.

 

They will be shortly...
