TPS is located on the throttle body itself.

thank you!
Is this something that can be changed if the part is purchased at a prts store?
It has two bolts? Can I just switch it out? is it easy for a weekend mechanic?
Thanks

Yep, this is a fairly simple repair. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Then unbolt and disconnect the old TPS and replace it with the new one. Reconnect negative battery cable. Should fix you right up.

Hi, thanks for your help on the TSP!
Worked just as you said! Your AWESOME!
I need to replace the oil pressure switch now.
Is this something easy to do? I am not sure where it would be on the engine of my Saab 9-3 turbo. 1999
Thanks!

Your vehicle has an oil pressure sensor, not a switch. It is located under the intake manifold. May need to remove a few components to gain access to it. Should remove it same as the TPS, just disconnect it's electrical connection and unbolt it from its location.
