Throttle Position Sensor Cost

HI All
IF you have replaced your throttle postion sensor, what did you pay?
SO far I'm told for the part $45 plus tax.
That cost is for an AC Delco one from an AC Delco store that helps me with low prices.

I purchased a Bosch Oxy Sensor at $22.
The same part in AC Delco (from this one same store) was $42.
Anything I can "save" & still get correct longevity quality is fine by me
Thanks!!

And If I may
follow up with this question
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!?!?!
COULD there be ANY?
The Borg Warner Coolant Temp sensor I got sure worked perfect! And was less than the AC Delco one I just returned today.
COULD there be any true difference?

AH DEER PARK!!!!!!
Damn thanks for the memories!!!
I still have bucking bloody morning bucking!
And I still feel I'm getting a signal to make the TPS/ECM react incorrectly.
I have changed my Oxy Sensor to no avail.
I have one more cold sensor on the intake manifold which to change. Those last sensors next to the thermostat housing is my "enemy" Maybe.....
Hestitation is not truly related to a sensor.
That's a tune up or timing (worn out chain) issues.

you think it would have to do with the fact that im using spark plug wires that werent designed for my car? or no, my friend bought some for his buick regal 3.8 but then sold the car so he gave them to me and i put them on, would that do it? i am eventually gonna change them out and check the distributor to see if thats it anyway

it may be, i had a problem with using a shorter coil wire that came in one of my sets of plug wires. it threw me off for a while, and the car really ran like Sh*t til i changed it out with the longer one!

I LOVE ACCEL
ACCEL MAKES THE BEST STUFF!
LAST SET OF PLUG WIRES I BOUGHT FROM ACCEL WERE IN MID-$30s!
That was 1989!
That's right last set of ACCEL plug wires I bought was in 1989!
SINCE Accel has a LIFETIME WARRANTY on their products, I simply return them to ACCEL & in return they send me brand new spark plug sets.
Last set I got was a BRAND NEW 8.8s SET!!!!!!
ACCEL MAKES THE BEST STUFF!

Myself, I couldn't understand why....
"Super Stock" Accel brand?
Yeah, that's what I started with and after one set returned, I was given the 8.8s. Even as installing one set, a boot ripped off. I used an old plug wire and again Accel sent me a new plug wire. I've sent them an old Accel coil & I gotten a new one. Once bought an old Accel Dual Point dsitributor (swap meet $10). I exhanged that with cash for a more useful distributor for my engine needs. I have a vehicle (1985 Blazer since 1989) with an over 100,000 miles on Accel coil. Accel stuff keeps working. Pay attention to wire routing and how it stays away from exhaust.
See where I mounted my Accel coil? Great choice of a spot and quick installation. Yeah & 8.8 wires, too.
