I use a tight quarters ratchet screwdriver. It is very thin and not expensive at all. I got mine from Snap On but I think that I've seen them in the Craftsman line.

Need to adjust my 88 Celica TPS and the dang thing is held by 2 standard phillips screws and it faces the FW! There is about 5 inches of clearance. How the heck am I suppose losen these phillips screws! Damn Toyota.
Tell me there is a $10 special tool or a trick.
TIA
Unfortunately, I am a visual guy. I'm also not a tool guy so visuals help.
If I asked you politely, would you please be so kind as to find an imagine on Google images so I can see what your'e referring too?
I'd so appreciate it and probably others on here would as well.
Thanks!
This should do it. $9.99. They also have one for $6.99 with only two bits:

Hope u guys have a trick :D
You can try a stubby Phillips screwdriver, the tool that Hachiroku posted, or a Phillips bit in a 3/16" socket in a quarter inch drive ratchet.
Just use a phillips bit with a flat wrench to turn it. Three inches is plenty of room.
Here you go mrsteveo.

's the craftsman model. It will work just as well as a snap on for far less money.
OK guys, will give it a try. Hopefully I can grip it tight enuff so it doesn't slip.
