That depends on how it's not working.
If it's unplugged, you won't get the deceration fuel cut, which is more of an issue in stop-and-go driving.
Power will be fine, but gas mileage will be worse.
If it has some worn out bad spots, you will be getting erratic fuel cuts while driving.
That type of power loss will be real obvious.
It you have an S5 & the wide range TPS fails, the ECU will put you in "limp home" mode.
The S5 narrow range TPS works just like the S4's.

Then, while the meter is on, work the plunger to check for bad spots.

I just got the new TPS installed and i'm wondering if anyone can give me a link to a site that tells you how to adjust the S5 tps. I've searched the forum and found alot of S4 and turbo references, but nothing for the S5 N/A.
