92 civic sedan runs better with TPS sensor disconnected?
I did my first complete motor swap on my 92 civic sedan. and when i test drove it the first time it sputtered out and barely wanted to take off. and in park in reved in between 500rpm and 1700rpm. back and forth over and over. i disconnected the tps sensor the car runs perfect. do i have a bad tps sensor?
I been driving without the tps sensor for 2 weeks now and if i connected it it automaticly [freak]s all up. is it ok to drive without it?

any check engine light? you may have reversed the IVAC and IAT sensors too.

lol, I know its funny but i have no gauge cluster! i bought it without one. maybe this weekend im gonna get one form a junk yard. so I really dont know if thier is or not. but i dont think i did because their all diffrent connections if i remember right. and they wont plug into anything except what its for.

Yes. On a '92 - '93 DX/LX sedan its a little harder because they have a firewall mounted map sensor, but if its an EX both sensors are on the throttlebody. TPS wire colors should be: yellow/white, red/blue, green/white.
