Default TPS sensor bolt broke, 1993

TPS sensor bolt broke, and I want to clean the threads. What tap/thread chaser should I use for M4.5x7.5 bolt.

you can use a M4.5x7 tap. Just be careful and make sure you're going in square to the TPS mounting surface.


On mine, I ended up just JB-welding in some 10-32 studs into the holes. Now I just slip the TPS over the studs and use nuts and washers.
