WTB: Turbo TPS

Yo... It has recently become obvious to me that my '92 SS's throttle position sensor has a bad spot on it right next to idle that apparently grounds it (making it appear to the ECU for that particular throttle position that it is at WOT) and it will enter Power mode, downshift, and stumble (and I'm imagining going incredibly rich, although I don't have an a/f meter in this one... I could hook up just a plain meter but meh... I'm definately sure on whats wrong here from my experiences).

The issue is RPM and vehicle-speed independant, of course. Just a particular throttle position that is probably a bad spot on the potentiometer there, causing a connection to ground there. If the throttle is left at this position for more than a couple seconds, a CEL comes on. As soon as the throttle's been pushed in past this spot for a couple seconds, the CEL goes off. I haven't flashed it yet but I know it's gonna be the TPS code.

So - anyone have a known good TPS they can sell me cheap? Frank? :) Not sure if the sensor is different between the NA and turbo models, but if they're the same obviously either will work for me... TIA!

Yep, I got one, do you want it plain or with the TB? :lol:
Most people have trouble getting it set-up correctly once they remove it. PM coming........

thanks Frank, you rule!
Since you're so incredibly quick to respond and reasonable on your pricing, I'll spring for the TB too. It will only make my job easier :)
