    Default throttle body sensors

    its about time to replace my TPS sensor i was wondering if its a good idea to replace the MAP sensor at the same time.. i know some things go bad as a package deal (like clutch master and slave cylinder) so i was wondering if my TPS going bad means the MAP isnt far behind...LMK thanks

    I wouldn't. Replace what needs replacing. I don't see them having a relationship to each other that would create a reason to change them at the same time.
