The 'TPS story' is just so as told above. Functionally theyre equal in 'every car'... Its too common to have broken TPS in brand new cars [factories are only installation lines]. Doesnt matter which car u buy... Obviously new broken TPS doesnt benefit from cleanup, only worn sooty one will. IF. Youre better off buying new, if u doubt it (measure the new one also!).

Check this also for MAF cleanup. There are lots other stories to be found, this one has similar resistor elements as maxima: Cleaning the Mass AirFlow Sensor (MAF) http://www.fordscorpio.info/cleanmaf.htm
Why? Cheap, easy DIY, wont hurt when carefully done...
