    Realized I never updated this with my findings.

    Swapped all three things on my car and while doing so, I decided to disconnect each TPS one at a time and check codes to finally settle the debate.

    TPS by the oil filter housing disconnected:

    TPS on the throttle actuator disconnected:

    Pedal disconnected:

    In summary, TPS 1 is by the oil filter housing, TPS 2 is on the throttle actuator and the pedal throws its own codes.

    Edit: Oh! Caveat to all of this is that I'm running CSL engine management. I think the mapping is the same as stock, but did not confirm that.

      Only if it's within 90 days of purchase. Learned that recently.
