my cel light only comes on when i hit vtec and its code 7 for obd1 "tps" i just put a new throttle body on and i adjusted it right? idk whats wrong?

 

whats you put your volts at for tps sensors?

 

i checked the voltage on the tps when i had it on the stock throttle body and it was 5.3 so thats what i set it to...

the tps is prob. getting weak did u replace itwith a new one?stock honda voltage is

closed throttle 4.5

WOT 5 volts

what wires are u useing to test?prob the center wire of the tps plug.the one closet to the firewall is your ground.

i didnt replace it cause it worked fine before i put it on the throttle body.

my voltage is set the same as it was when the tps was on the stock tb which was 5.3 at WOT

im testing the right wires cause when i move the throttle my voltage goes up and down...

 

it seems like this tps problem happens alot and no ones figured it out...

Stock honda voltage is 4.5v at WOT.
and in the range of .30- .50 at closed throttle

i bet if u got one from blox or inline four your problem will go away.

idk i never read about them myself... two of my friends use them and i hear there good.

 

its a professional products throttle body

and btw there not alot of money there fairly cheap.and like i said before tps get weak being so old.what i mean by weak is the signal wire isnt reading what it should.ive seen them springs on the side that goes in the t/b get so weak u can move it with your \hand and it wont spring back like it should.

 

it works fine. it just throws a cel light around 7 grand...

 

any other ideas?

 

5.3 volts is way over 100% throttle. thats probably where your problem is.


set it to 4.5v WOT and see what happens. ive had that exact same problem where it triggers the cel only at high rpm. the problem was the tps voltage being too high, just like yours is now. and before you say "it was fine before" doesnt mean that it was right.

4.5v closed and 5v open? come on now. neither one of those values are correct lol

 

was this problem sorted out

not yet, im gonna go mess with it and see if i can fix anything.

 

i just figured soething out tonight. its not that my cel light turns on at high rpm its if i hold it floored for a couple seconds, then it comes on... at any rpm.

 

then its the tps.

haha... uh yea i alredy no that... but see im trying to figure out why its coding but i think i got it figured out. i just gotta work on my car....

 

I'm having the same damn problem with my B18C SI (JDM spec cos i live in Asia).

I have no access to after market TP sensors cos i'd have to export them. Will try a few of the suggested tests. Last hope is to head to the halfcut shop and get a new TB hoping to get a good TPS.

 

Any word on the fix?

 

well i tried to adjust my tps and it wont go lower than 15.01 at WOT and ive tryed 2 tps's!? the only way i could get it to read 4.5 at WOT is to mess with my throttle cable or try something else? i think the mechanism that moves the tps on my tb is adjustable too? ill check it out tho...

 

I can only give it a shot on my side of world this weekend. Probably on Saturday if possible if not i'll have to wait til weekend after next.

Does your throttle cable seize up, as in its hard to depress the accelerator sometimes? Cos it happens to me sometimes. I thought that might be a problem that is related to the TPS sensor.

Wait... you said at WOT its at 15.01?!?!?! Isn't that like way too much?

the throttle cable is fine. and i meant to type 5.01 volts
