The 1999 General Motors (GM) Blazer/Jimmy came offered in the optional 4.3L Vortec V6. The throttle position sensor (TPS) is easy to remove as it is two mounting screws and one quick disconnect wiring harness attached to the throttle body. The OEM GM AC Delco replacement TPS should be #2134668 and or #213912.
It is located on the passenger side of the throttle body.Remove the air cleaner housing, and stand on the passenger side of the car. The throttle position sensor (TPS) is on the side of the throttle body, behind several plastic vacuum lines. Disconnect the brackets that hold the lines to access the two bolts that secure the TPS. These are Torx 25 bolts, so be sure to use the right driver. Disconnect the electrical connection (you may have to disconnect others to gain access) and remove the TPS. The new TPS may have to be angled in to get the tang from the throttle to line up with the guides in the new TPS. Good luck with the operation, as there is not much area to work.
When the TPS sensor is disconnected from the car in idle, there would be delayed acceleration.
