2005 Outback Throttle Position Sensor

[Ravenwoods]

Is the Throttle Position Sensor built into the Throttle Body or separate? Maybe in subsequent years it was built in?

2005 nonturbo should be cable throttle, it should be on the opposite end of the where the cable throttle goes and replaceable.

My 2005 is nonturbo 2.5 and has the non cable electronic accelator pedal.

I understand it to be that after 2003 no more cables just dreaded fly by wire. All models. 
 

Don’t have our 2006 handy but I’m pretty sure it’s on the right side of the throttle body.

oh right, if it's 2.5 electric throttle.  the tps is in there but not easily replaceable, you have to adjust the set screw for it and have an ecu data reader.  though, i've never heard of a tps failing on those style of throttles.  they either completely fail with the motor not working or make a terrible grinding noises if the gears are sheared.  the tps part is pretty reliable
