now from the picture, there doesn't seem to be anything physically wrong with the tps..

I went down to canadiantire, they didnt have a throttle position sensor
so I go to partsource.. they ended up giving me the wrong throttle sensor.. (didn't fit) so I go back the guy i dealt with wasn't there at the counter, so the other guy apologized gave me a refund and told me it wasnt in stock.
So I go to another Canadian tire.. they tell me the previous location I went to was the only one in Hamilton with one in stock.. which was ridiculous cause they told me they didn't have any..

by the time all of this happened it was too late to call the dealerships for a price quote.. both crappy tire and part source quoted me 70-75 for the TPS.. the wrong one I bought today was 35 bucks.. god knows what the dealership wants..

There is a test method to check the TPS before you replace it. I'll try to find the prcedure and post it.
