N3A1-18-911 TPS Substitute
I have been searching for a replacement or substitute for our OEM TPS.
Was about to try adapting another vehicles TPS to a FD when I talked to Palm Tree Rotary.
Contact Us
They informed me that Wells Vehicle Electronics will be remaking their version real soon. http://www.wellsve.com/parts/index.php?PART_NO=TPS4089
and to order it from Amazon.
I just ordered one for testing. Will update this post upon installation.

Is there an actual difference between the automatic and manual TPS sensors?
After I did my auto to manual swap, the same TPS sensor was used with zero difference in configuration so it makes me wonder why they're considered different. I see the automatic sensor is still availble, that's why I ask.

Supposedly they are the same electronically and everything. Not sure why they made a difference. Maybe one has a slightly different shape - I think the auto trans dipstick is near that area, maybe a slight redesign for more clearance?
I think I've only ever worked on like 1 or 2 auto FD's so I'm not sure.
The good thing is the FD TPS is FAR better than the FC TPS. Those things constantly have problems.

Today Amazon canceled the order due to item not available.
Wells told me production was stopped March 2018 with no info about remaking it..

I made a substitute TPS using one for some Toyotas/Lexus's. Stock nbr is 89452-30140, AutoZone / Wells nbr is TPS4107.
Required a different connector and switching two of the 4 leads. It ran ok but the two voltages were way off, when rotated for first engagement, the low was 1.19 v, the high was 3.09, and when the throttle is fully
opened, the voltages were a little low.
Their are some Mazdas from the 90-200N year that use the same size as the TPS4107. Such as the MX6 - Wells TPS481.
I spent a couple hours on the net trying to find Toyota, Lexus, and MX6 manuals but with no results. This included multiple forums.
All we need is someone with access to old Mazda manuals to find similar voltage range as our FDs.

Hey, new to FD's just got mine running on a haltech ps1000 without a tps but it is going to need one.
I've was searching some of the part numbers Tripple 7's posted. Most with pages not found or $250
No good substitutes yet? and could i run haltechs HT-010408?

Just got a KL01-18-911 from a buddy who had it on his REW FC. he got it off a mazda van i think he said. its showing a few 93-97 mazda vehicles off the part number. He said it doesn't quite work with stock ecu but is tune able with haltech and what not. but its something to check out and play with for an alternative.

I've seen mention of the new sensor and some pictures on various blogs in the past month or so. Crudely translated:
Regarding the RX-7 (FD3S) throttle sensor
I think some people already know that answers came from parts dealers, but I will report only certain points.
The product number has been changed.
N3A1-18-911 → N3Y3-13-SLO
The price is also ¥ 15,400 → ¥ 40000
As it was newly developed, it seems to be the composition of sensor + 15 parts (accessory).
Also, because the sensor is new, it must be changed to a connector (accessory), so I think it will be essential to have a person with work skills where it has work skills.

Interesting!
I'm googling around a little with that part number. Found this -
https://recharge.jp/blog/culture/fd3stps/
Seems to say that the later TPS's (maybe 96+ or 99+?) are not plug in compatible with the 93-95 TPS. Dude is making an adapter harness to plug it in.

The problem is that the remake OEM TPS sensor is slightly different plastic casing then the original. They changed the angle of the plug, and now it interferes with the coilpack or something along those lines.
My buddies are the ones with the Recharge page. They also are parts of the Parts Phoenix program to restore old NLA Mazda parts back into production by discussing it with OEM engineers etc..
