The TPS is held on by torques screws. I can not remember if they were the security type or not but I think they are,

Depending on on your year you may have either ODB1 or Idb2. One sensor would be about 12 inches down the down pipe form the manifold. A second would be on the top rear of the cat.

The bolts are called Torx.  I forget the exact size of them but I'd guess T35-45 range.  They look similar to a 12pt.  They should be standard and not 'Tamper-proof'.

Your O2 is located half way down the cross-over pipe.  It will be easy to see once your under the engine.  It's the only electrical thing attached to the exhaust.

lucas oil and moblie one with a k&N oil filter (3001 large size) in, K&N air filter in, O2 sensor changed, new wipers, topped off battery, everything is looking good, just have shocks and the TPS left. The TPS is being a bugger, going back to get proper tool. should help.

did the 3 key thing and sure enough it dropped the O2 code  :)
now its just 24 and 33...and i dont have to worry about 33.

I think my firebird is mad at me for buying the jeep....she knows im cheating on her....with an off roader at that....
