Aftermarket TPS

Has anyone tried any of the aftermarket tps? The voltage on mine jumps around a bit so I've been thinking of replacing it. I can't seem to find an OEM replacement (haven't checked a GM dealer yet) but I'm curious about the other ones that are out there. Most of the auto parts stores cary one made by BWD. Napa has one made by Delphi and one made by Echlin. There is a significant range in price so I'm curious what the deal is. Are these junk or do they actually work? Thanks in advance.

echlin has pretty good quality replacement parts..
Delphi Is a OEM part.. I would purchase the Delhi,, or call your local GM dealer they should be close in price...

Re: Aftermarket TPS

Ok thanks for the info. I didn't realize that Delphi was OEM. Has anyone tried the BWD tps? That one is the cheapest, around $30 bucks. I just don't want to waste my money if they are junk.

Not that I know of. Its a pretty simple device, not much to it. Had mine in the car for more years than I can remember.

Re: Aftermarket TPS

Thanks for the input. I'll most likely end going with the BWD then. I can't see paying an extra $40 if the BWD works just as well.
