I have a feeling that my TPS is going bad or starting to. there are times where I can feel that it almost sticks

I did the usual fixing

replaced plugs, wires, fuel and air filter and even seafoamed, changed oil new battery(optima yellow top), but got the new battery for another reason,

anyways I have a feeling thats the issue since I cleaned the MAF and it didnt help.

I was wondering can I use an OBDII TPS on an S13? would it even matter?

if someone has the FAST software please check it for me

Did you clean around your throttle plate? that is typically what makes the pedal stick.

no, its not like it feels gummy all the time. just everynow and again

I just threw on the new air filter to think that it would fix it but right now it gave me a wierd idle, but that clamp is on there as tight as it can go

so im now im all confused.

My 93 240 has no TPS and it runs fine. well the crazy thing is I have the sensor with no wiring or connector that goes to it. TPS sensor if bad is gonna result in the car haveing a hard time finding idle, runs rich at idle, but 2k+ rpms it runs fine. try moving the thotal plate with your hands to see if its sticky.
