does the tps sensor have to have that gasket on there? i cant find anywhere that sells the gasket.

if you cant find one get one of those do-it-yourself gasket kits. You just cut out the gasket that you need.

The first time i pulled a throttle body i forgot to get a new gasket (car was my daily driver). I was like "****!", and i ran upstairs and asked my friends dad what to do. I tried liquid gasket and it leaked. He said "Son, let me take you through gasket making 101". He took the back of a notebook spiral (you know, the brownish yellow cardboard piece) and traced the throttle body onto it and cut it out. Worked like a charm, but i did end up buying the gasket and replacing it later.

You might try that. If it leaks youll get a surging idle.

 

where did you buy the gasket?

 

Since Honda does not sell the TPS independent of the TB, they do not sell a TPS gasket. You will need to fabricate a gasket.

Thats what i meant to say.. honda doesnt sell the TPS seperate..

But yeah, you can get one of those do it yourself gasket kits from an auto parts store..

(btw the gasket i bought wasnt the TPS gasket, it was the TB gasket. You will have to fabricate one like Dogginator said.)

 

you don't really need a gasket. Just a little RTV silcone or Honda bond does the trick

 

rtv silicone sounds alot better.

 

i used hondabond

 

do it yourself gasket should be fine
