how to install a tps sensor on a throttle body
 

i just found out that the tps sensor from a D15 is the same as a D16. I heard that u just cant swap it there a certain to install it if not the idle will be off. Is there an easy way to do it?

drill out rivet in your old one and rivet new one on

and use screw bolts https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

I use studs with nuts on them, this way its easier to get a open end wrench back there, all you do is loosen the nuts and adjust. If you use screws, its hard trying to get a screw driver in there.

use a dremel with a flat disk to make a cut into the bolt thing holding th sensor on the T/B. then use a flat head to unscrew it.

When the car jerks or stutters (when off the pedal) while coasting, is this a bad tps. Usually happens around 2000rpm.

Could be a lot of things, bad spark, bad fuel filter, I could keep going and going and going

Turn your ignition to ON. Turn the TPS until you get a reading of near 0.5 V. Then tighten it down. Double check the voltage and then check the wide open reading. Turn the butterfly in the throttle body to wide open while watching the multi-meter. The reading should gradually increase until you get near 5 V.

Yes, a misaligned TPS sucks. A VAFC is also a very helpful tool. it has a function that helps you calibrate your sensors and you can watch the TPS percentage in real time. This helped me diagnose mine when my car would studder at freeway speeds, the TPS reading would drop to 0% then come back, and so on.

Thanks guys!

So i have to get near .5 or is it .45 when closed throttle? How about open throttle how do u calibrate the tps or it doest matter?

I don't get why honda didn't just use regular screws...when i changed my tps..I had to hacksaw that bitch like there was no tomorrow just for me to unscrew it...wtf is the point of making use make our own indentations!? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif
