28512, RE: is Throttle position sensor necessary? Posted by NAEclipseMatt, Jul-25-02 09:52 AM To get it off do what I did, its easy and it works perfectly. Turn it into a flathead screw.. Take a dremel with smallest cutting wheel you have and make a straight line straight down the screw, then proceed to use your flathead screwdriver... IT works wonders, Ive had to do it on all my sensors, makes it easier in the future also. Peace
28513, RE: is Throttle position sensor necessary? Posted by daved, Jul-25-02 01:03 PM Why not just go get a torx head screw driver to remove the screws? Why waste all that time turning it into a flat head screw.
