How do you loosen bolts off the tps sensor?

[SilviaSR20DET]

Im adjusting my tps sensor to read correctly in nistune and is the problem thats causing me to run rich while decelerating. Any idea on how i can access the bottom bolt of the tps sensor cause there is absolutely no room for any tool i have to loosen it. The only way that i know of is to remove the throttle body completely and than loosening it that way but then i would have to get a new gasket which i dont want to.

90% of the time you can reuse that gasket. they usually stick to the intake manifold.

I also couldnt figure it out what tool to use for my KA TPS, so I just removed the whole throttle body assembly since I didnt want to risk stripping the screw. I'm thinking of using a small hex cap bolt to replace that stupid screw. Hopefully I should be able to use a ratcheting wrench from now on.

and Burnsauto is right, that gasket is reusable most of the time. But even if you do ruin that gasket, I think its like $4 for a replacement

i used a ordinary 7mm open end wrench on my ka24de. there are miniture crescent wrenches that might work if room is an issue.

I actually found a tool that can do the job. Its called a offset screw driver costs like 2 bucks at home depot so it should do the job than if not im gonna go ahead and remove the throttle body.

^Best answer^ stock size is 7mm and a wrench works best, even on sr's.

wait to loosen the bolt? how the heck did you do that? if that is indeed a tool that can be used i just went throught the hassle to remove the throttlebody... great..
