i have a bouncing idle and i've done everything i can think of except putting on a new TPS, so that's what i'm planning on doing. my question is, how do you get the factory one off? i looked at the bolts holding it on and it doesn't look like there is a space for a screw driver and it's a round bolt so a socket won't work either. This is on a d16z6.

I have heard that you have to gring off the head or grab with vise grips to take off. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I thought you had to buy the tb to get the tps unless you can buy a used one

i bought a new tps off ebay. blox makes them.

that is true. honda made it where if it ever went out you would have to buy a new throttle body that includes a tps with it. you can drill it out. or if your not confident in doing that you can buy like a blox tb which includes the tps that can be removed.

so there's no way around it... i have to take the tb off, drill out the screws, and then replace it. pretty sure i'll replace the screws with some that have a screwdriver head, just to be safe.

and to align it you just need to make it so it says .5v at closed throttle right? nothing more to it?
