Hello all,
Just wanted to share some pics I snapped while I had my throttle position sensors replaced.
First step was to remove the plenum cover. It is secured by a number of head bolts.

Subsequently, the ITB snorkels had to be removed.

The lower portion of the intake plenum has to removed as well.

Various vacuum lines and hoses has to be disconnected prior to the removal of the lower portion of the intake plenum.

Here you can see one of the TPS units, tucked very tightly between the firewall and the engine block.

Here's a pic of the other TPS unit, we had to remove the fuel rail covers to gain enough clearance to unscrew the TPS.

This is the tool we had to fabricate in order to access the bolts within the limited amount of space that we were working with.

This is not meant to be a DIY, as I was not the one who performed the work (senior tech here at the shop did). Just for your reference, hope it helps! :cheers:
