Why do you want to remove it.

Its not meant to be removed. Its held on with rivets. You will have to carefully drill them out to remove it. BUT you will need a multi meter and the specs to reinstall it so that the car runs normal.

Take a dremel and cut slots into the rivets. They are actually screws that had the heads cut off.

Cut a deep enough slot to get a small flat head screwdriver into. Lefty loosy and you're done.

yes 2nd gen TL and CL (both TL-P and TL-S) are the same TPS

You can buy them on ebay and they come with new screws (allen heads). You need to have a volt meter to install it.
