    It is on the Throttle Body and is self-calibrating. After replacing it, disconnect the Battery for about 1 minute and then start the car and let it idle. It may idle high for awhile and act a little strange for about the first 15-20 minutes of driving. But it will normalize as it adjusts to the new TPS.
