Throttle Sensor Replacement - Smooth Acceleration

My car started throwing the throttle sensor code, CEL & VSA light so I went ahead and replaced this part. The new sensor has also now eliminated the hesitation and choppy acceleration that has plagued me over the past few years. I used to have to reset the ECU every so often to fix and was a pain. I wish I knew this was THE fix or I'd have done it long ago. Just an FYI for anyone else out there still dealing with the same issue. Fairly inexpensive part & easy install.
