I am trying to find the throttle position sensor on my 85 4runner

There is a sort of roundish black housing on the right side of the intake just after the rubber elbow screwed on to the aluminum housing. It has a plug pointing toward the front of the truck. It has two Philips screws holding it on, one on top and one underneath. Loosening these two screws and twisting the TPS is how you adjust the TPS setting, taking resistance readings from the socket.

Hope this helps.

Here is a site that will help you find it and adjust it:

If you need to adjust it (or change it out), its a lot easier to remove the entire throttle body. And while you have the throttle body off you can give it a good cleaning. I just fixed my TPS (it was out of adjustment). I tried doing it on the engine, but it was hard in such a tight area, so I took the throttle body w/ TPS off....it was a lot easier with the entire assembly sitting on the bench.

Hope this helps
