Throttle position sensor @ USD1,300??

[SKEW]

Hello,
I was just been shocked out of my socks when the local Saab dealer
diagnosed the loss of fuel intake during driving. They said it is a defective throttle position sensor and it'll cost me USD1,300 in part replacement only!!
Does this make sense?? I have just forked out over USD400 for sensor valve replacement, etc. BTW, I have a SAAB AERO 1995

Distressed

If your car has TCS (Traction control) I dare say by diagnosing a throttle position sensor they are quoting you a throttle body. And if by stealership you mean dealership who know more about saab's than any one else but charge a large amount for there correct diagnosis and quality parts you would be right .......sniff sniff ......*******s keep making fun of us .....

[SKEW]

I dare say, you are correct... After checking with them, it's the whole throttle body. Anybody knows how I can get a hold of one (used or reman) in Europe. PLEASE

Hey, SKEW!

Since it is in fact your TCS throttle body that took a dump, fret not, you're in luck...kind of anyway. There's one on eBay now (as of 1/23/08.) I was thinking about getting it myself as a spare but it sounds like you need it more than I do.

Good luck!

I wish you'd have gotten back to me sooner. Sincerely, had I known you were having problems with your account, I would've bought the thing and sold it to you. I'll tell you what...if another one comes up soon, I'll go ahead and bid on it. If I win, I'll contact you and it's yours for whatever I paid for it + the cost of shipping it to you.

PM me with your email address.
