They are attached to the throttle body, on the side that is closest to the alt. On an NA they are easy to spot, on a T2, they are kind of under a mess if you still have the tmic.

What car do you have and what kind of problem do you have that makes you suspect tps failure?

have you checked if it is adjusted correctly and that it does not have any dead spots?

You can download a copy of the Factory Service Manual from the links in the FAQ. It contains all this information and should be the first place you look for things like this.
