i hope that its only the TPS sensor.
Is this an easy fix and how much is it to get done?

When it died, I hit it in N and restarted it again.
I couldn't remember how much was for parts, but the labor was covered under goodwill gesture at my dealership

I am waiting to receive the TPS and then will probably take it to the dealer for them to put it in.
I called the dealership to tell them of my plan and then said that they haven't replaced any TPS's on the GS but that they have seen problems with the "THROTTLE LEVER" and have replaced quite a few of those and that that may be my problem.
They quoted me $250 for the THROTTLE LEVER and then about 1 hour labor to install.
Thoughts anyone?

My understanding was that the sensor is measuring throttle blade angle, and that we couldn't do the 'voltage' method that is common on a NON-OBDII engine.
