Intake manifold off

[William]

If I've got 20 minutes tomorrow will it be enough to get the intake manifold off to change the TPS? I guess thats the easiest way rather than fiddling with the TB. Actually I have no replacements gaskets so presumably I would be stooopid to do it without replacing them?

Pointless post maybe

def get gaskets and do it while off
but i would not take the manifold off noo way just the tb trust me will take ages if you take full inlet off hth

As Daz said, taking the inlet manifold off and replacing it in 20 mins is a no!! To replace the TPS, just unbolt the TB, easy peasy 5 mins at the most, you can usually re-use the TB to inlet gasket, as it doesn't usually fall to pieces, but have another ready just in case!
