the tps sensor on top of my intake manifold is still there, but there is 2 spots that you plug in, one on the side, and on on top, the top part is broken off...is that ok??..or should i replace it, i bought the car like this

 

by the way im not sure if its called the TPS...someone just told me but isnt really sure

 

A tps sensor is located on the throttle body inbetween your firewall and your throttle body. It is not ontop of your intake manifold.

I believe you are talking about your intake air temperature sensor.
If you do not have a check engine light from the broken sensor or a vacume leak, then you should be ok.

 

i do have a check engine light, and i do hear whistling when i press the gas..is that the problem?

 

Damn sucks, get a new one or find one in a junk yard

 

There's no TPS sensor on the top of the intake manifold...
Take a pic or find a pic online and circle what the hell you're talking about. Better yet, if you've a check engine light then pull the code to find out what it is.

 

yeah i found out its not the TPS...some guy just told me thats probably what it is...but i found out that its the Intake air temp. sensor

 

So it was the IAT sensor :o

 

where do i remember seeing that?
