Not sure if thats the right spelling but i'm talking about the device you bring inside the truck to replace the stock tps sensor. also how much do they run?

Potentiometer, is that the word you are looking for? As in a variable resistor.

x2 its a potentiometer. Some radio shacks still have that kinda stuff, but their selection is pretty sad. I went into get a 555 timer and they didn't friggen have one. or a segment display controller.
Thats the only local type place i can think of though.
