From reading on this site of similar problems, it appears I have have a problem with the throttle position sensor. The car hesitates when running at low RPM's, or when taking off from a stop. The "service engine soon" light has been on for a couple of weeks, and I'd like some info on how to locate and replace the sensor.

I assume autozone runs a diagnostic? How much do they charge for that?
