2002 Sport, p1121
Went to my job, came back out about 10 minutes later. Upon startup, the car was running rough. Threw the failsafe message. I always connect my obd2 to monitor temps, so right there I scanned codes. Which gave me the p1121. Turned the car off for like a minute. Started it back up, and got me home with no problem, no failsafe. Car hasn't done it to me in almost exactly a year ago, then today. I'm not even complaining.
119k miles, if that matters.
What all do I need to check?

The code indicates a throttle position sensor failure. I would remove clean and polish the throttle body connections then clear the code and see if it returns,
There is a TSB about replacing the pins in the connector for the throttle position sensor plugs.
Take a browse thru the "How to" section for th x308 and see if you can find it. PM me I think I have it stored somewhere.

Can we buy separate throttle position sensors? What about pedal position sensors? Where is the pedal position sensor located? Haven't diagnosed anything. But I am about to clean the connections. I assume to disconnect the negative cable before doing so?
If I end up needing a TB rebuild, is there a way I can be sure of that? When they rebuild it, do they give us new a throttle position sensor and pedal position sensor?
