Talking Sputter, sputter, choke!
Friendly forum friends, it's GoZilla once again! As I stated earlier that I have a lot of questions. Dealing once again with a 2006 HD Heritage Classic, I have a repeating engine light and a PO122 code (that has be archived several times) which is the TPS. This I know. My Harley dealer keeps "clearing" the code and telling me that if it's not running good bring it back in and continues just to clear the codes. The bike sputters, coughs and dies. My question, aside from the cost of the TPS, can I replace this TPS myself and safe a few hundred bucks?
Thx-
GoZilla

Yes, you can replace it yourself. Easy peasy.

Ok, good news. Next question: do I have to replace the entire throttle body or can I do the TPS? Also, is there a step by step video available or a picture presentation?
Thx-

The TPS is is a part that can be replaced by itself. Part #27659-06. About $35.00.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out. Also clean the IAC while you're messing around in there.
