NEED a SOURCE: Brand Fing NEW S4 TPS

I've given up on my erratic TPS, and am not going to gamble on a used one. Where online/800# is a GOOD, reasonably priced source for a new TPS for my 86 na? Do I have to do the dealer thing? They usually snicker at me and the 18 yo car I am resurecting. Thx for the big clue.

Well... if you want to pay an arm and a leg you can go with Mazdatrix. Their's sells for $189 which is probably about the same as the dealer price. You could also try www.mazdaformance.com too. They might be able to get a better deal.

Autozone sells it for $150. It seems like a lot, but with an erratic TPS you are probably getting real bad mileage. In a way, you will make the money back in better mileage.

I would just recommend getting one from a local autoyard. Odds are you can still get a good one and cheap.

I bit the bullet and ordered a new TPS from Mazdatrix. One more part replaced, oneless component to worry about.
Thx to all for the help. I know Mazdatrix are nice enough folks - dealt with them before... but is it me or is their webiste just about the oddest out there?

What is it with people and ordering stock parts from Mazdatrix. I used to. Never will again. Nothing wrong with the people. Just their prices.

Mazdaformance.com is ALWAYS cheaper on stock parts than Mazdatrix.
