I have a 2008 Saturn Astra XR with 77,000 miles on it. I need a throttle position sensor GM part number 919-3188. I've looked everywhere online and at the General Motors dealership here andthey cannot get one anymore. I know this is an Opel Astra imported from Germany for Saturn.

If you need to replace the accelerator pedal position sensor on your 2008 Saturn XR, here are the general steps to do so:

Locate the accelerator pedal position sensor: The accelerator pedal position sensor is typically located near the top of the accelerator pedal, on the inside of the vehicle.
Disconnect the wiring harness: Carefully unplug the wiring harness from the sensor. You may need to use a small flathead screwdriver to release any clips or locks that are holding the harness in place.
Remove the sensor: The sensor may be held in place with screws, clips, or other fasteners. Use the appropriate tools to remove the fasteners and carefully remove the sensor from the accelerator pedal.
Install the new sensor: Carefully install the new accelerator pedal position sensor, making sure it is properly aligned and secured in place with the appropriate fasteners.
Reconnect the wiring harness: Reconnect the wiring harness to the new sensor, making sure it is fully seated and locked in place.
Test the sensor: Turn on the vehicle and test the new sensor to make sure it is working properly. If the sensor is not functioning correctly, you may need to check the wiring or consult a mechanic for further assistance.

Note that the specific steps for replacing the accelerator pedal position sensor may vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. It's always a good idea to consult the vehicle's owner's manual or a certified mechanic for specific instructions and guidance.
