Looking for a New TPS

Sup fellas, Im looking to buy a brand new TPS. I previously have seen a bunch of posts regarding purchasing from "Ray Malloy". I just wanted to know if he is an actual person, dealer, or a shop. And if anyone can provide me with a contact # or email, or if anyone has any suggestions on where to get one at a decent price.
Unfortunately, Im on my PDA and connection is slow and searching takes a while (took me almost 30mins just to post this)

Thank you in advance!!!!

That said, TPS's VERY rarely go south, and finding a good used one shouldn't be a problem for very cheap. New they're like $180-200 or something crazy.

Hey guys!! Thanks sooo much for your help.

I've been trying to diagnose/fix my 3k hesitation and I took it to my uncles's shop (where I'm also getting my paint job) where the first thing he tested was the TPS and it showed a dead spot. I'm hoping that's the culprit since I've done all the grounding...

I'll keep you guys in the loop...

Interesting. What do you mean by a dead spot? Did the voltage go to 0V or dive or something during throttle movement?

That's how my uncle explained it... that it would drop and then jump...

I wasn't there when he tested it... but his other mechanics suspected the same thing.. so we'll see

I suggest you try with a used one ($40) before shelling out hundreds for a brand new one.
