If it is a tbi (L05) then it is located on the front of the throttle body, passenger side.

I don't think so. I think the L03 tbi is basically the same as the L05

Re: throttle position sensor location?

There is an idle adjustment where your throttle cable ends. Let it warm first.

Re: throttle position sensor location?

There is now way to adjust the tps, just install it. As far as throttle adjustment, take of the air cleaner and you should see the adjustment at the linkage. It's very easy.
