Default Cheapest place to get Throttle Lever Sensor for 98 GS300

Newbie here. Just picked up a 98 GS300 with a bad throttle lever sensor. Looking to find a cheap place to buy one so I can get this budget project moving forward. Any help would be grateful!

I actually have a TPS sensor from my 98 GS300. I bought a brand new one thinking it was the cause of my CEL, but turned out to be my Accelerator Position Sensor instead so I have my old one for sale. If you want it PM me. It is the Throttle Position Sensor you're looking for correct?

No its the same part you bought. I was told Accelerator Position Sensor and Throttle Lever Sensor was the same thing.

Nah there are three different parts on the TB. The Throttle Position Sensor (on the front of the throttle body with the two screws in it), the Throttle Motor (to the left of the TPS) and then the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (on the backside of the TB where the throttle cable hooks on to).

EDIT: This is the TPS -- http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...1998/5781.html

Would an Accelerator Position Sensor from a 01 Lexus IS300 work?
