NEW? probably the best bet would be mazdaformance or mazdacomp. Try finding someone to get you a discount for a new one at the dealer.

If you don't mind usedt then just buy one from a forum member.

According to my local mazda dealer that I happen to work for, a TPS for an 86 GXL can't even be gotten new from mazda anymore. Its a different model, but that just made me mad.

Someone mentionde trying to soak the insides with come kinda solvent.&nbsp Be careful with really powerful cleaners, as this will kill the plastic housing.

I dunno why Mazda didn't go with a sealed pot...

To clean a TPS:
I use CRC brand "QD Contact Cleaner"
Home Depot has it in the electrical section.
It's safe for plastics.
Spray it between the plunger & sleeve, work it in, blow it out..

It's also good for logicon switches & sliders, door lock position sensors, stereo controls, etc..

Part #N326-18-911A is what my microfiche has for both 86-88 Turbo and NA TPS. Just thought I'd throw that out so you don't limit yourself to a "turbo" sensor if there happens to be a good deal floating around on an "NA" sensor. Mazdaspeed price is $120 so the $100 deal for new seems pretty good IMO.
