1992-1995 TPS Sidekick frustration
#1
About 2 years ago I got a new TPS for my '93 Sidekick.  The darn thing is already bad (confirmed). Tested with ohmmeter.  Loses continuity at a certain point.  I "fixed" it temporarily by drilling a small hole and injecting solvent/oil.  That was more of a test than a fix, and I knew it.

But I'm frustrated to no end by a couple things ... one is that the '96 TPS is $44 and the one I need ('92-'95) is $144.  WHY???

And what's up with Partsgeek shipping?  Because I live in AK, they want to charge me $24 for 2nd day?  I ship a lot of things, to and from here, and that particular part would cost about $4 First Class, and would get here FASTER than the UPS or Fedex they want to use.  Geez.  

SO ... what happens if I use a 1996 TPS?

Found one on ebay ("refurbished" hahaha) for $15.

Since I know the cheapo things are gonna break again in 2 years .. besides, the engine in this 'kick is on its last legs.  It's definitely worn out.  Not worth spending more money on.  

Cheers!
