I am adjusting the tps (throwing a code for it), and i have been probing the middle wire (ground on chassis), im getting .41v closed and 3.79v WOT. I know those are not right and i have it turned as far as possible to raise the volts. I've heard someone say to get this reading from probing the 1st and 3rd pin/wire. Am i using the right method? Im thinking i just have a bad tps.

With the TB closed, sensor disconnected, ign off:
Pins 1 and 2 = 0.5-0.9ohms
Pins 2 and 3 = 3.6-5.4ohms

You also need to be sure you have correct voltage, sensor connected, ign 'on':
Pins 1 and 3
0.5volts with the TB closed
4.5volts with the TB fully open


These specs should also be correct from the factory. If theyre not, and you havent replaced the tps, you know its time to do so.
If you have replaced the tps and these readings arent met, your sensor isnt positioned properly</TD></TR></TABLE>

I've seen that thread, i tried using pinds 1 and 3 just now and i get a constant 5.05v that doesnt change when moving the throttle. I put the pos. on one and neg on the other with the ign on (not the motor), what did i do wrong?

The adjustment is not your problem. It will only throw a code if you have a bad tps or wiring issues.

Wrong! Trust me it will NOT throw a code if its adjusted wrong. Dont listen to this idiot^

Ok, i fixed it this morning, and will tell you how (wire wise, because pdiggitydogg has the other info). To pdiggitydogg, the only way i could get the right reading was to probe the middle wire and ground on the chassis. Im not saying honda's or you is wrong but thats the only way i could get it, the pins 1 and 3 thing gave me a constant 5.05v. But anyways my car runs a lot better now, and no cels for now. However when this cel was on, it had a code for the iat and fuel supply system (b/c of the tps i know). But i replaced the iat and it was still throwing a 10 until i fixed the tps today, wierd?
