Location of throttle position sensor.. long and painful

Vitals:
95 Aero, 125K
Permanent Limp Home Mode..
LHM will engage even at full stop when pedal is pushed 1/3 of the way down.
Check Engine Code: 5 Falshes - throttle position sensor.
Vacuum lines are all secure.
Have reset the codes with disconnecting battery and disconnecting the ECU and "check engine appears immeadiately upon LHM.
As per my previous posts, I am in limp home mode and getting the 5 engine codes pointing to my "throttle position sensor". I have been told here on the board that with my 5 speed manual Aero that this part is easily replaced. Can some one tell me definitively whether this part is located within the throttle body or is on the pedal inside the passenger compartment? I have read pretty much all of the TCS posts and am confused about which part is which. I have been told that replacing the throttle position sensor does not require replacing the throttle body on a manual auto, so does that mean we are talking a part in the engine compartment?
I am assuming that the safety valve is not the culprit as I swapped valves with the boost valve on the wheel well and was still in LHM. (Does this eliminate the safety valve as the culprit?)
I have had and fixed TCS problems in the past that were random in nature with hose replacement and resets but this seems another animal.
Thanks in advance for anything anyone can offer.
