BWD Throttle Position Sensor
See if this part fits a specific vehicle.
BWD throttle position sensors maintain specific installed outputs to match OE rather than adjustable consolidated designs. The circuits are printed on flexible polyimide film or ceramic-based substrates for excellent dimensional stability and for the prevention of electrical performance drift.

Quality TPS!
Great product, fit perfectly. Came with gaskets and o-rings that the stock TPS didn't have (which is probably why the stock TPS failed) BWD makes some quality stuff :)

Comments about BWD Throttle Position Sensor:
Seemed to work ok until the next morning when it was a little cold and the engine began to rev up higher than expected. I thought my Durango may have become possessed until I remembered that I had just changed that throttle position sensor. The sensor still seems to do ok unless it's cold outside and then it tends to rev up and down when at idle or going down the road.
