You can find the answer in this publication about "how can I clean the throttle body?"

Cleaning the throttle body is a simple process that this walkthrough will demonstrate. Let's start.

Also, in Autozone you can read instructions about Remore & Install:

Cadilla Catera 2000-2001 Repair Guide
Removal & Installation

  1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
  2. Partially drain the coolant system.
  3. Loosen the hose clamps to remove the air intake ducts and the coolant hoses.
  4. Disconnect the atmospheric vent hose from the bottom of the throttle body.
  5. Remove the throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connector.
  6. Remove the throttle body assembly mounting bolts.
  7. Remove the TP sensor throttle body assembly.

Good luck (rate this).

SOURCE: where is throttle position sensor located on 2000 honda passport

Normally attached at opposite end of throttle linkage. Remove your air cleaner intake hose at throttle body, and observe throttle plate that opens & closes as you press accelerator, it will be at the end of that, on outside of housing.

For the 2000 cadillac catera if it the crank position sensor does it have to be calibreaded/

Once you change the crankshaft position sensor, the only thing you need to do is clear the "check engine" light if it came on. There is no "calibration" for this sensor.

How do I replace the TPS on my catera. Where is it located

It's located on your throttle body which has a cable attached to your gas pedal. The one's I've dealt with are just bolted to the throttle body and all you have to do is disconnect the harness and unbolt the sensor
