im working on gather parts for a y7/y8 mini me swap, and i recently got a civic ex head and intake manifold, theres two sensors it looks like on the back of intake manifold, but they're both broke, one just has two screws and im not worried about it but the other is riveted on there any help on how to replace it?

the one with the two bolts is the iacv (idle air control valve) the other is the the tps (throttle position sensor) to remove the tps, you will have to drill out the rivets.

alright, i hpped it was something not hard, that doesnt sound to bad, and i just rivet the tps back on as well?

take a hack saw or a dremel and cut a slit on the tps rivets and you can use a flat head screwdriver to take them out.
