Were those tps140 go on a Saturn 2001twin cam 24 valve 3.0 liter v6 i looked every were?

The throttle position sensor is a device that signals the position of the butterfly valve of the throttle body. The throttle body is the part that is between the air intake and the intake manifold. Disconnect the air intake from the throttle body then have someone press the accelerator pedal. Watch the butterfly valve open and close as your assistant presses down and lets up on the pedal and you should see the butterfly valve moving. On the end of the rod that passes through the butterfly valve should be a sensor that detects the position of the butterfly valve. THAT is the TPS. There will be an electrical connector.
