Default I need a working TPS asap..

I haven't driven my 951 in over a week due to my TPS being garbage and not cutting fuel when I let off of the throttle.

I would prefer not to spend 100$+ on a new one right now (just bought a WBo2, egt gauge, and paid rent..)

does anyone have a good a TPS from a car they are parting?

Just curious, what were the symptoms of this? Or was it your WBO2 that told you what was going on?

I was in a rush to get a TPS so I brought the part to Autozone and they took the Bosch P/N off the TPS and too my surprise, they had the part. The computer didn't show the part at the time but it does now. At the time it was $60, but like everything else it went up.

Did you try and adjust the TPS so it clicks when the throttle is closed?

Didn't even think to check autozone (they never have anything in stock and is more expensive) but $90.99 is actually comparable to the online places. If nothing else works out I think I'll get that one.

I did re-adjust it to make sure it clicks when the throttle is closed. When that didn't work I took it apart and cleaned it (oily in there) but still luck
