Any TPS will fit, as long as the motor was injected. Even the dinky D15 Dual point FI TPS will work. Just make sure it is still good, and that you put it on at the right position. You can test it with a volt meter by hooking it up, and putting the + lead on the middle wire (I think that it is red & black). With the throttle plate completely closed, it should read something like 0.4volts. With it fully open, it should read something like 4volts. If it is in the wrong position, it will throw a code and read funny voltages. If you need one, I have a spare that I ended up with after not knowing how to test it and replacing a good sensor. I think I only paid $25 for it or something. I'll hook you up if you need it.
That is how you know, and forget whatever the "shop" told your friend. I bet he tells you something like, "I bought this one off ebay..." in the near future. That is your cue to beat him over the head with a large, heavy, blunt object for being a trashy liar! (Just kidding, I don't condone violence....) Good luck with your swap. I am undertaking a re-do on my ZC in a couple of weeks, so I feel your pain!

Yeh my friend said he tested it with the volt meter and he said it got no readings? Man Spy54 trust me ..you MIGHT have all the parts but once everything is bolted on...do not expect the car will start on the first turn of the key. There will always be a small problem which can lead to bigger problem if you are low in funds like me
Oh 4GZChatch i would buy that tps from ya but all my last 35 bucks went to EightOhOne for the intermediate shaft that i bought from him. Well my gurl is sendin him the money tomorrow actually. Maybe my friend is tellin the truth? I'm not sure though. I'm not gonna go and point a finger at him and blamin him for that tps. I have no proof that it works or not.
