      yea a replacement. original went out at like 24k miles and then this current one only lasted 14k miles. replacing it again. its gotta be something with the connection too. these drive by wire TBs cant be that poor quality.

      replaced it. 10 minute job. why the stealership charges you for an hour of work? i dont know. probably rounding the time up to an hour. shadey mother fkers.

      all for replacing the TPS. good thing i have my old one, im going to see what i can do for repairing it so i dont need to wait for when this to happens again.

      Re: ahoy hoy from oklahoma!

      Can i ask, tps? throttle position sensor?

      On a drive by wire car "that" is on the gas pedal, the throttle body has an actuator based on where the gas pedal is..

      What went bad on the TB ? the actuator?
