get the oem Ford one, it's only @$34.00. stay far, far away from aftermarket sensors, they do not perform like the factory stuff. I preach this on every board Im on. Ford makes a part to work wthin certian parameters, ie: to work between y & z and then the aftermarket opens up these parameters(to work on multy vehicles) to say, t to z and the operations of that part can and will cause issues.

Randy nailed that one. OEM are cheap, easy and pain free. Others are not always that way.

Ok heres the deal, I work at Kragen Auto Parts and I checked and we have one in stock, and i can get a really good deal on it. But now I'm afraid to buy it because of what you guys said. Should I just leave it alone and get on from ford?

well, let me ask you this, why do you need a new TPS?
the currant Ford TPS for just about all Modulars (F4SZ-9B989-AA) has been one of the "Most Trouble Free" TPS's Ford has ever used. unless your changing the thrttlbdy or chasing a ghost, I really see no reason to re-place it.
