Default ECU code 43??

Apparantly this is the "Throttle Switch" - is this the same as the "Throttle position" sensor?...Can anyone tell me where I can find said sensor...

Thanks in advance

So is the TPS the same as the Throttle Switch? This question has been asked before but never answered - ie to fix this fault code do I need to replace the TPS or is there a switch somewhere on the pedal (you can hear a click when you press it), or somewhere else entirely?

Thanks

TPS is integral to the throttle position sensor AFAIK

I've checked the TPS and it seems to be fine (closed circuit on idle then open when you touch the accelerator). I bought a second hand replacement one and that doesnt do anything at all.

Could this sensor be somewhere else?
