Default Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

Im throwing a CEL for throttle position sensor, after working on it im pretty sure the TPS is bad. The bad news is Acura doesnt sell the TPS as an individual part, only on the whole throttle body assy. which is over $500. Does anyone know if they make an aftermarket TPS that would be compatible on a 2001 ITR?

Omni Power and BLOX makes an aftermarket replacement TPS unit... I'd stray from the BLOX unit, I've heard from some of my customers that it doesn't read accurately. I haven't heard one complaint from the Omni Power unit.

View here.

Just have it calibrated properly, and you'll be fine.
