I thought the TPS was an integral part of the throttle body, one that can't be removed. Given that, I might be interested in one also.

well actually i think it can be removed with a hex head screwdriver or something. anyways you just cant buy the tps from honda, you have buy the WHOLE throttle body which is a nice amount of pocket change. 380 bucks!!

Well, all I did was take my TB to a friend of mine and had him cut some grooves big enough to put a flat head in it and screw them out, its a good idea too. But if you need them i got them

Im in GA BTW

Checked for vacuum leaks, the thermal valve is bypassed using a gasket for the coolant bypass mod, replaced radiator to make sure not air was in the coolant system, replaced a new IAC valve. give me some more things that would cause the idle to surge

Yeah, I'm a little hesitant to remove the Thermal valve and plate it over due to the osilating idle. I have the IAC bypassed, and my idle still wonders a little.

You might want to put back your thermal valve and see if it goes away...

Well whenever i start my car is when it idles the lowest. around 1000 but when it starts warming up it idles at like 1300 and drops to 1000 and does it until im in gear and moving. It also does it when the clutch is pressed in and its idling while cruising. i have the tps unhooked right now and it just idles around 1700 without the surging. Stop the surging!!
