If I may ask - did you take the TPS apart?

Is the TPS a wire wound potentiometer or is it a graphite POT like
in electron equipment - radio volume control, etc.?

I have a Geo Metro with some strange problem and I have not
checked the TPS yet.

But I was wondering how they work. If a graphite POT is in them,
then Hell!, they'd wear out fairly quickly moving back and forth
with each throttle movement - Gozillions of times a year!
