Built into the throttle body, you'll need to buy whole TB.

You can swap the TPS by taking a hack saw, and cutting into the head of the screws holding it in (yes, they really are screws). Just cut a notch into it big enough for a flat head screwdriver, then use that to spint them out.
Have a multimeter on hand for the reinstall though, because it will need to be re-calibrated.
Also let me know if you need a new TPS, I think I have two of them sitting in the garage somewhere

The TPS is supposed to be "permanently" part of the TB according to Honda, so it stays in calibration. They use security screws with heads that break off so they can't be removed. You're just cutting new slots in those screws so you can remove them and throw them away, then use regular screws to attach the new TPS.

Hmm, not bad! I'll get right on it. Now, since they are not supposed to be separated, will i be able to buy just a TPS or will i have to buy the whole setup with the throttle?
