The TPS is located on the throttle body and is connected to the throttle shaft. There are 2 Torx screws that hold it in place. Remove these 2 screws and the wiring harness. Install the new TPS making sure that the tang on the lever is properley engaged with the stop on the throttle body. Install wiring harness and everything else you removed to get to it.

Hope this helps you.
