I was talking to an older engineer this weekend about pots. A pot is what the TPS is, and this guy can take a piece of gear as complex as an oscilloscope and refurb it to new. One bad spot for them, especially if left unused for a while, is that the pots will get 'noisy' - in other words, they lose signal or get erradic. The fix is to flood them with WD-40, which is one of it's originally designed uses (not general lubrication).
So, it may fix all these TPS sensors that go bad as well, especially after a washing. There may need to be some 'openning up' of the TPS, or even a small hole drilled into the side (enough for the nozzle), but flood it with WD-40 and it should clean it and displace the water.
If anyone is about to go out and get a new one, and it's just flaky, or it went out after getting wet, try this. Worst case, it does nothing. Best case, it makes it good as new with no TPS adjustment and no $. Just remember to flood it, and for the Renix ones, both of them.
Report back if you do this...
