Default Bad tps

Every month or so my tps(throttle position sensor) goes out. I have no idea why. Anyone have the same problem..?

many of them are cheaply made and the quality can vary wildly.
went quickly through a cheap ebay model and a blox (sent back under warranty
and never heard from them btw). currently running a dorman that is ok
so far one year later. use something like hex bolts so you can tighten it down good, philips head doesnt cut it. doesnt look like oem is available seperately,maybe you have to buy the whole throttle body for $500?

good source for cheap (and not so cheap) junkyard parts:

yeah it needs replacing every 3 months or so for no apparent reason. So i bout one from autozone with a lifetime warranty so every 3 months a get a new one. Its not a big deal just wanted to see if anyone has had the same problem.
