Default TPS (throttle position sensor)

I am very interested if anyone has OR knows where to pick one of these up. I have been having Idle problems unplugged it and its doing fine now but i would like to replace it.

If anyon HAS or KNOWS where to get one any info would be appreciated.
I have been at my wits end with this problem so.

I had no idea the 79 Accord even had a TPS.
Maybe the problems are caused by something else?
Too bad there are no codes for the 79's

Unplugging the sensor puts your car in open loop, so of course the problem goes away. Most all idle problems that go away upon the unplugging of a sensor are air/vacuum leak related. The TPS will not cause idle problems.
