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 have a S5 for sale in working condition if you could use that?

the s5 tps wont work, ive looked into it. id say get one from mazdatrix, even though its expensive you know your getting a solid mazda part and not some pos replacement part, even though mazda parts can be pos too.

 

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.
