TPS gasket?
 

Anybody know if there is a paper gasket between the tps sensor and the tb housing?
Reason I'm asking is there seems to be a lot of crud that builds up around the tps and I've had to clean it from time to time to keep the tps from sticking.
Think I'm going to try it anyway...

Nope,no gasket to worry bout :)

A lot of crud hu? I haven't had a problem with mine since my new motor went in 2 years ago. I also keep my engine bay very clean though.

daily driver...
 

Might have to do with the 40 mile commutes I do and the roads here just plain suck.

you're not talking about the throttle air bypass valve are you?
...it takes a gasket, and also has a tendency to stick when it gets gummed up.

No gasket on the TPS, though...

L8R!

Nope, not the IAC
 

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. I've overhauled the IAC several times whenever my idle starts acting up.
I've just been putting off getting a new tps.
I've have noticed the 2 black plastic teeth in the tps are chewed up a little and it would stick a little at the the bottom of the rpm range around .98 VDC.
I don't know why I haven't yet but I am going to go ahead and order a new tps today from http://www.50resto.com
Can't believe I have been such a tightwad with this thing...
