If I am thinking of the right thing then...........

Its the black sensor on the side of the throttle body. I dont have a picture but you cant miss it, its the only electical connection to the t-body.

I have a picture but I doubt that is your problem. Recheck you upper plenum to see that all your hoses are connected correctly.

If you can't identify your TPS maybe you have your vacuum hoses not correctly installed. Haynes manual is your friend.

If its your tps it should throw the check engine light. Idle problems usualy come from air leaks check all your clamps and seals.

It most certainly could be his TPS giving him idle problems. Can you describe the problem in a little more detail? 04DarkShadowGT is right about its location. You said you're having a problem with the TB/plenum install? If you have the stocker TB off it's only held on my two #2 bit screws.

Not to be a smart ass, but (jrc_03_GT) weren't you just telling someone else to "keep an eye on the A/F ratio" in another thread, but you can't even find your TPS...? How do you keep an eye on your A/F ratio?
