The TPS is on the throttle body toward the back of the motor. It is attached to the throttle blade, so if you follow that you will find it.

The MAP sensor is sitting on top of the throttle body. It has three wires going to it. It is the only sensor directly on top of the throttle body.

It is under the Vtec solenoid (a little to the bottom left of it). It should have Two wires going into it. A blue/black and a black.

The MAP and the TPS are the same plug is I would switch them around and see if that does the trick. If you had the TPS and MAP sensors switched that would give you poor gas mileage. The Vtec Pressure Switch, I would check the wiring to see if you made a mistake.

The MAP you can. Not sure about the TPS but I think you can (please someone help him with that) and the Vtec pressure switch your CX did not have.


I hope that helps!
