Replace TPS on 2010 F150 4.6?
Does anyone know where I can obtain some free instructions on how to replace a TPS on a 2010 4.6L F-150? It sounds pretty simple from what I've read, but I'm not sure how to locate the TPS for starters. Thanks in advance for any help.

After speaking with an online chat rep at fordparts.com, it appears that the 4.6L 2010 F150 does not have a TPS. It has a "throttle actuator system" which is two sensors built inside the throttle body. He told me that if my issue is with any part of the throttle body, that I must replace the entire throttle body. My issue is that when accelerating from a complete stop or low speed (10-20 mph), my engine will rev up about 100 to 200 RPM higher than it should be and then back down repetitively about 5 times or so in a row and then goes back to normal. It's similar to if I was tapping the gas pedal repeatedly, but I'm not. After speaking with several people with more automotive knowledge than myself, they general consensus seemed to be a faulty TPS.... so, this has thrown a wrench in my repair plans. Again, any input would be much appreciated.
