Last week the "check engine" light lit up in my 1998 mitsubishi mirage DS. I was concerned so I took it to a couple of auto zones (just to be sure) so they can check it, what they told me is that the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) needed to be changed. I would like to change it myself, but I would like to know if it's difficult to do so, and some info (preferible an image) on where is the sensor located, and the position it needs to be put in. Also, do i need to adjust the TPS so the computer knows when the engine is at idling and when it's WOT?
Thanks so much in advance...

The Tps is located on the throttle body and is located on the end of the throttle shaft. Get a Haynes manual for your vehicle. It will tell you exactly where it is what it looks like, and how you position it. And it'll tell you how to fix just about everything on your car

Mitsubishi Throttle Position Sensor

The sensor is on the throttle body across from the throttle control. It is probably held on with two small screws and should have two or three wires plugged into it.
