i need a throttle position sensor for my 91 coupe and all dealerships and parts retailers that ive tried cant sell it alone, so its like 650 for the whole throttle setup. is anyone parting out engine parts or know where i can go to find this part?

i also need a speed sensor but ive been told that getting the repair kit for all the electricals in the sensor does the job almost every time so im gonna try that. any help would be greatly appreciated guys!! thanks

dude that is pure BS...That thing bolts on i think or with two screws..

Mine is bad(glitch) but i havent looked for one. But this would be the first time i have heard of a company not selling a TPS

Ps--look if they sell 3.5L ones?

the TPS isnt held on by screws..... its held on by 2 rivets would be my guess

and since the TPS isnt sold seperately and has a gasket... how are you going to replace that?

No worries buying from PSA, I'll vouch for him as a seller, he's helped me out with some parts on a couple occasions. I'm sure there are quite a few others who'd vouch for him as well, he's been around here forever.

TPS can be sold seperately as an OEM part. Cost is $83 on my end. New.

Acura just wanted to sell ya more. $$$$$$$

Ps- i have no factual proof of this but got it through a resource and had some phone calls made.

Need a TPS for my "new" 91 Legend. Just bought it w.only 62k documented miles on it. It has a slight hesitation on intial acceleration. I scoped the TPS output, and it showed a drop off. Would like to get rid of the stumble, but don't want to pay big bucks for a new throttle body that I don't need just to get a new TPS which I do need. Help..............?mc
