Cost for a new Throttle Position Sensor for a 93 FZJ80 (1 Viewer)

The shop dropping in my new Longfields, said my check engine light came on. Said the code was for a TPS. Anybody know how much these things cost?

About $67.71

Thanks CDAN. I assume that would be less than one hour labor or does everyone round up?

Well,

It's a couple phillips head screws and a wiring connector. How many thumbs does the installer have?

What's wrong with the TPS? Is the TPS bad or is it loose wiring connectors etc?

 

[cruiserdan]

Junk has lots of thumbs...............

dunno, guy just told me that after the buttoned front end, they said the check engine light came on with the code TPS. Granted, I saw a check engine light come on before, but b/c of my oil leak, I just added oil....which it turned out to be low. And I have had erractic idle problems, too.

Air intake hose cracked.

 

[allen_ajones]

didn't think about that. Lemme ask the guy

 

[allen_ajones]

well, I guess that says it all.

Similar problem here. Throttle sensor control wiring "head piece" cracked and not able to stay on the "(4 legged)" connecting part to the sensor. Runs fine until it gets warm and then it starts acting as if it was running out of gas, no power and dying if I try to accelerate. If on the freeway I have temporarily resolved the problem by putting the truck in N, turning it off and re starting it in order to make it home. Is it possible to just replace the wiring to the sensor or do i need to buy a new sensor all together?
Thanks in advance!

erratic idle

You might need to check the idle control valve too ...

I know this is an old post, but by any chance can you tell me if the sensor comes with the "4 prone" connector"?
My problem is that the connector itself (plastic head) is cracked.

Check eBay too. Got my denso TPS there for like 20 bucks. New too!
