I checked the codes and it said i had a tps sensor problem? but if i did, then my car wouldnt be idling right or even running. Can someone please help me how to solve this?

to check your TPS with a multimeter:


the center wire (red i believe) shave a little of the wire coating off to expose the wire.

grab your multimeter and put it on DC voltage

with Key on engine off, throttle closed, you should have .45 or .5 volts on that wire

with key on engine off, wide open throttle, you should have 4.55 or at most 5.00 volts


i just copy and pasted that from another thread with the same issue.

this light wont make it idle bad or run bad, it will stop VTEC from working.

if your TPS doesnt show those values it is probably bad and needs replacement.

sometimes if your throttle cable is too tight it can cause this code as well

oh yeah i just did a manual trans swap and the throttle is really sticky

the car will run fine without a TPS. You wouldnt notice it, it will just not perform aswell. But it will basically run like normal.

well i just scanned it and full throttle is suppose to go up to 100% and when i scanned it, full throttle only went to 91.7% so im loosing power. could it just be the throttle pedal position sensor???

yes
