TPS cannot be cleaned like IAC, right?

If my TPS isn't smooth all the way through the throttle, it has to be replaced, right? There's no cleaning or anything to be done?

Thanks. Any brands better than others (AC Delco, Wells, Standard, etc)?

Delco.... I've went through 3 Wells TPSs in a little over a year. Had the Delco in there now for almost 2 years and no problems.

ALWAYS buy Delco sensors. I found this out the hard way, in the same fashion as Kevin.

Thats what I was afraid to hear. Don't know if afraid is the right word, but wasn't looking forward to the cost of Delco sensors. Same goes for IAC too I figure....
