Bought new TPS.

Ok I bought a new TPS, so I am going to install it this morning, when the sun comes up, and I just wanted to ask where the torque screw or idle screw is? It's some kind of screw you can mess with, just can't remember the name.

Anyways, they say to check that screw before buying a new TPS, but I figured what the heck, the truck is as old as me! I think it would enjoy more new parts!

Location of screw?

Ford Fuel Injection » Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) This link is the best I have come across on fitting the TPS.

Not a good idea to turn that screw

Ok guys! I just installed the TPS and took her for a 10 mile drive or so, and man! That truck runs smoother than my mom's 2011 Mercedes E350! Damn I'm glad I finally fixed that hesitation, been doing it since day one!

Well thanks everyone!
