After much testing, ive concluded that my TPS has crapped out on me. Does anyone know of a replacement that will work for hotair cars around 20-40 dollars, becuase i really dont feel like shelling out 100-150 bucks for a stupid piece of plastic. Thanks,
Cheap replacement hotair TPS???

yay, found one
Well, I searched the archives and found a Holley part #:543-29
heres a picture of what its supposed to look like:
It works the same way, but the plug comes straight out, so making adjustments by pulling upward on the sensor won't cause it to poke a hole through the hoodliner.
I went to summitrracing.com, they have the part for $34.99, but you'll have to pay at least an $8.00 s&h fee.
I went to Kragen Auto to try to order it, $46.99 was the price, but they couldn't order it becuase of their stupid computers.
Thirdly, I went to Autozone, and they had trouble looking it up at first, but finally found it at a price of $29.99. Sweet.
Remember, its a Holley part #, so Summit will have the part listed as HLY-543-29, and retail stores will have to look the part up by manufacturer.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.

Tomco SUCKS
Everything I've ever ordered that was tomco has broken. I used to have a tps sensor from tomco for this car, part # 14061, i forget the price but Poston sells it for about 20-40 dollars. The arm doesnt sit flush with the throttle peg firstly, and the WOT volts were 4.3 at best, when you want at least 4.6 v at WOT. And that was with the sensor tilted at a 60 degree angle! (which conflicted with the vaccum hoses) When i filed the nubs off of the sensor to see if i could get a higher reading, the unit broke inside because it wasnt designed to handle that much play in the arm...so now its a worthless piece of junk. Just like the tomco MAF sensor...crap!
Cheap price....cheap quality. I'd go for the Holley anyday over Tomco...just my .02.

I get a tps from a 86 or simalar year FWD car. Much cheaper but it slightly different. I have to lenghten the mouting holes to get the full voltage range out of it but it works.
