    Most likely due to wear of the variable resistor from the wiper contact leading to an output voltage (probably 0V) outside an acceptable range.

    I can't blame you, especially when you have the spares

    Exactly. because the TPS is factory set with the screw at the back, I always change the entire TB. They are also readily avail and cheap. It took me 20 mins to clean and swap out the replacement one so it is also very easy and the problem is mended.
