Default replacing TPS on stock TB

recently i've thrown codes for a malfunction in the TPS.

only happens on extended road trips...2+ hours with the cruise control on. NEVER comes on other than that.

car is modded, i know something in the tune can cause this, but i've done the same road trip 5-10 times since the cam install and dyno tune....nothing else has changed in 3yrs.

except the last road trip triggered teh SES. went out after several cycles. then came back after 2hrs of cruise control driving on the way home. that was in December and it hasnt come back.

and i never cleared it.

wondering if the TPS is actually going bad.

wondering what is involved in the swap? adjusting it? and how much and maybe a PN would be nice.

thanks guys.

find someone with the same car, swap sensors, will take about 1 min to do that, unscrew with torx(2 screws) pull off then replace. if it's bad get one at autozone for 30 bucks or so.
