Best Answer

The TPS is the Throttle Position Sensor. You can research additional information on a TPS as it is a very general automotive item, but it is mounted with 2 Phillips head screws on the side of the Throttle Body, which is in front of the intake manifold.

The Intake Manifold is the large, cast metal piece on the passenger side of the engine. The Throttle Body is the mechanical piece with the spring-like mechanism between the intake manifold and your black, plastic cross-over pipe.

The TPS is the small, electronic device mounted on the opposite side of the spring mechanism.

These will fail over time and in Miatas, typically exhibit the feeling of fuel cut or instantaneous loss of power while driving.

This information refers to 1990-2005 Miatas.
