it is uaually on the throttle body. I'll go run out and see if I can spot it on mine. Alright, on my 97 GST the TPS is on the front of the TB, there's a sensor housing on the botton right under the intake tube and then there's also vacume lines going to a couple things on the firewall. None of these look like the IACV's I've seen in the past so I'm not sure. So you don't have any problems but the computer's reading that it's bad?
