i have had my engine swaped to ls b18b1 in my 92 eg dx and during the swap the tps broke so i used the 1.5dx throttle body til i could get tps sensor for ls and the dx throttle body lost power and hesitation on pull off with loud sucking noise and i used it for a little over a month and the check engine light came on with tps and it ran bad so i got tps for ls throttle body and installed and i marked the spot were i took broke 1 off and i line it up and put it on
the code went away but CEL light still on and car is sluggish and wont pull off under 2300rpm
smells like something burning (CAT CONVERTER OR VERY RICH OR LEAN) and i hear injectors missfire the haynes manaul say all simptoms of tps and i have changed mine
i tryed to calibrate it by turning it but only makes worst
MY BIG QUESTION IS HAS ANYONE EVER HAD THE TPS PROBLEM AFTER B18 SWAP WHEN THEY HOOK THERE THROTTLE BODY UP FULLY INTACK NEVER BROKE SINCNE I HAVE NEVER HAD IT HOOKED UP OFF LS BEFORE IT BROKE IS IT SOMETHING I DOING WRONG I TOOK OF DX MAP SENSOR ARE THERE OTHER WIRES I SHOULD DISCONNECT OR ADD IM USING THE LS HARNESS ON THE ENGINE FOR MAP AND TPS WITH STOCK DX HARNESS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CAR.
ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD FIND A COMPLETE OBD1 B18 OR B20 THROTTLE BODY WITH AT LEAST A FACTORY TPS I DONT REALLY NEED MAP I HAVE ONE

you also need some punctuation. we can't help you if reading your post gives us a headache.
you can use the TPS off your DX TB and put it on the LS TB. just remember to calibrate to OEM specs.
the slugglishness could be due to bad timing or a simple need of a tune up.

I Have tried that 6 times now and the voltage never drops under 8v down to 5v its really pissing me off someone give me the step by step procedure on how to do it i went by the haynes manual and tested the right wires but no change in result
u think it could be my SAFC 2 i havent had it programmed other than setting it up for factory settings but that was when i had the dx throttle body on the ls motor u think that really matters

sorry for not punctuating i thought some people woundnt pick up on all that but its had a 100% tune up alway down to the rotor button and the timing belt was changed and checked b4 the swap like i said it was fine with no CEL from dx TB til i tried LS TB with new TPS and didnt work so i put dx Back and didnt work right anymore it kept getting tps code and yes i reset ECU and erased previous codes

Yet you still don't use it.
