Default Recommended TPS Sensor Replacement Part?

Title.

Think my TPS needs replaced. Getting bogging while driving in 1st and 2nd gear around 2k-4k. Doesn't happen in higher gears.

Figure I might just replace it. Got new plugs too...

If you want to make sure TPS is really broken, you can check it with multimeter easily.

Sorry to bump, but I can't find my multimeter in the house, and if I can just buy a 15 buck Civic TPS sensor online, I'd rather just do that than buying a new multimeter, finding out I need the TPS anyways, and having to buy that as well.

Can anyone give me a part number or replacement part for an AP1 TPS Throttle Position Sensor? Google is failing me and all the forum posts I find about it seem to have dead links to places like APTuned and OmniPower....

There is no oem replacement you have to get aftermarket like omni power. The only oem replacement comes with a throttle body attached to it.

Harbor Freight sells meters cheap. Often they are one of the free items they give away with coupons.

You'll need a meter eventually anyway...

And don't cut away insulation to get to the cars wiring. You want to use pin probes, that can simple be stabbed into the wire to pierce the insulation and reach the wire inside. Then when you remove probe insulation kinda flows back to protect the copper wire.

I found some cheap on Amazon. Meanwhile, to test now you could use a couple sewing pins, the kind with nail heads. Use needlenose to press them in, then use alligator clips to connect them to your meter. Then its all hands free. This is all stuff you either have around the house, or can obtain locally.
