civic throttle postion sensor repair
Throttle body was dropped and the throttle position sensor was broken. Dealer says they can't be replaced and I must buy a new throttle body. Is there anybody that repairs or replaces the sensor?

Not really, the TPS is a PITA to adjust properly. And the TPS is rather expensive. This is an oportunity to buy a larger Honda TB. Plus, you can pick up used ones for about the cost of the sensor.

you can look in the classidieds for a used one from a JDM engine, the jdm ones unscrew from the TB, or call a JDM engine distributor they will probably sell you a used one cheap

it doesn't they are the same but the JDM tb have TPS sensors that are screwed in, instead of being riveted to the TB... This makes them a lot easier to remove and replace, and adjust
Once you remove the rivets from your USDM tb you can replace them with screws
