Does anyone know of a substitute throttle potentiometer for a 3.9 - I thought there was mention at one point of a Napa or other parts store Xref, but can't find it now.

Thanks,
Bill

You can get a OEM TPS for less than $60....why bother?

Usually an auto parts store GM unit is only about $25.00 (if I can find an equivalent)......why pony up an extra $35.00 or so for a Land Rover box?


Xref anyone??

I guess it just depends on how much value you put on your time.

Hey Bill, are you talking about the throttle potentiometer? If so, is that located In the Inlet Manifold/Plenum Chamber? Thanks.

Bill - I got a new looking but used 3.9 TPS from rovercannibal for cheap - no problems with it at all and fixed my 2500rpm hesitaion/stumble.

Dave Geeek For Hire - Your comments are not helpful and make you look like a little snot. It takes 2 min. to switch a TPS. If you have so much money take your truck to the dealer and and be gone.

Hey JB. Fuck you.

Many people buy TPS' for closer to $100 or $120 from a dealer. If Bill did not have a good source for parts he may have been one of those people. Perhaps he did not know he could get one for $60.
