Question TPS Replacement question

Hello Everyone,

My car is hesitating during accelaration, I ran some checks and most probabely it is TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). I need following suggestions from you.

1) How difficult it is to replace TPS
2) Is it already adjusted or do I need to adjust it.

Thanks and appreciate your time and answer.

Regards

Mazda Protege 1994 DX 756000 Miles. Recently replaced spark plugs, oil, trans oil.

A TPS is very easy to switch out, if memory serves it bolts right onto the throttle body. It might be a little more involved than that, but not much.

As for calibration, the TPS is a very simple sensor and by all rights should be ready to run out of the box. I can't imagine a reason it wouldn't be, nor how one would adjust a TPS in the first place.
