Has Anyone had a throttle position sensor go in the 80 series.

I had mine go recently and it does something to the computer system which stops it from reving over 2000rpm. Just wanting to know how common it is for these to break.
Planing a trip to the cape and was just thinking how much it would suck if it went up there. :cry:
