Somebody advertised there 1999 subaru GC impreza WRX on gumtree for around 240,000k and around $4k AUD.
Has quite a few mods, 3" HKS Exhaust, 3" dump pipe, braided clutch line and heavy duty clutch etc.
He states there is a problem with it and it can be fixed, either he will fix it or he will sell it for cheaper.
The problem he states is "Possibly TPS or just needs a carbon clean. Comp test was 165 across all cylinders, not using coolant or oil and not overheating. Car drives fine, just has a slight intermittent hesitation."
I offered him $2.9k and i might see him tomorrow.
If you could help me i would like to know;
What a TPS is and is it hard to replace/ costly?
what a carbon clean is/ costly?
And what an intermittent hesitation is?
I hate to sound needy, but i just want to know if i have a good deal, or if im getting fucked.
Thankyou,

Can anybody help? its urgent! if not idk where to post this where ppl do know!
Throttle position sensor. And carbon cleaning would be cleaning the gunk and shit from the throttle body /intake manifold area.
But op it sounds like he doesn't know what is really wrong with it

TPS is throttle position sensor. As the other poster says, fixing that would involve cleaning the carbon buildup from the intake manifold, throttle body, and EGR valve and return tube if it has one. That shouldn't cause a stutter, however. But if it's dirty enough to need cleaned, maybe a spark plug is coated and you're getting spark blowout.

Im seriously worried, like idk why the price is so low like 2.9k aud. he is like 2h drive from me so.
