Default Throttle Position Sensor

I have to replace my TPS (throttle position sensor) and found one on ebay for $25. I also found one at a site that is selling one for $250 but claims its better than the stock TPS. Is there any difference before I make a choice.

Can't see how one can be better than stock and be that much more. The stock one lasted for what, 17 years...not too bad in my book.

All mid 90s TPS sensors were the same for Hondas. $25 seems like a reasonable price.

Just remember you are going to need a voltage meter to install it correctly.
