Got help with a question yesterday so I figure I would ask another. I am stripping the bolts trying to take the throttle position sensor off. (I bought a ported throttle body and plenum and was going to transfer the TPS over) Has this happened to anyone? If so, what did you do? Also, I'm just thinking of just ordering another TPS. If I do this, will I need to get a Ford OEM one or can you use a cheaper one from autozone/advance? Thanks for any info.

I had the same problem too. I just found a philips screwdriver that best fit the bolt and used alot of pressure to make sure it didnt slip. When I re-installed the sensor I used antiseeze on the bolts. Ive since taken them off no problem.
