Default map and tps code issue

Please respond if you have any idea;

I changed out the spring on the pulley for my throttle this morning before heading to work and when I started it up the check engine light came on for codes 3 and 7(map and tps).so I figured that something happened to the harness or the intake was unhooked but thats not the case. Also besides revving higher than normal (2.5k @ idle) and getting pretty bad gas mileage I drove 60 miles and it was fine.

Na the map is not off. I changed the pulley spring because my throttle started to stick at 3k when I let off gas. Not sure what that could have done to turn cel on for map AND tps even though neither ever got unplugged

I meant off as in not reading right and that's when you either adjust the throttle cable or clean out the tb, put the old one back. I can promise you that's the cause, sorry but no one changes tb pulleys

Yea maybe "nobody" changes the pulley but I also couldnt find anybody that had the same issue with their throttle getting stuck. Wouldnt you know it fixed the sticking throttle! And I guess nobody changes their pulley when putting on a itr cable

adjust the throttle cable tension ! and yes of course it will plug it back in and reset the ECU.

Its tensioned properly...and I was saying that unplugging the map made it worse so I think the map is not to blame. Also why would it cause it to read tps too? Thanks for at least trying to help.

Nah I did that when I first started working on integras and in the years since I have heard of many people making that mistake as well. The grey is the map and blue is tps. Its just crazy I cannot figure this out. I am gonna check for a air leak somewhere and test the sensors and maybe take the thermostat ground off and clean the metal up some. I am having a hard time believing both sensors went bad overnight. Thanks for the input though.
