Hey All,

Currently in the middle of a trip (in Moab now) and have been having intermittent throttle issues since leaving home a week ago.

Today, after a stretch of (very) washboarded roads, my CEL came on and the throttle became totally unresponsive. Shut the truck off, turned it back on a few mins later and it acted as normal (CEL went off on it's own a few starts later).

When I got into the next town I scanned for codes and got P1121 Accelerator Pedal Position Censor.

So now I'm trying to see if I can track down the part I need, but I'm getting confused because it seems like the APPS and TPS are both showing up under the same part number I found on another thread.

Question is, are they the same thing / part? My truck is a 2000 LX470.

Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated. It's a bit tricky since I'm dealing with this mid-trip. Trying to figure out if I'm OK to deal with this for the next week until I get back from the trip or if I need to get it addressed before doing anymore trails.

Thanks in advance for any insights on this!
