Here's the deal. I went to start uninstalling my Zex kit due to selling it to someone and was removing the wiring. Anyway, I was specifically taking off the white wire from the NMU that taps into the TPS 'red' OEM wire that was all soldered together earlier. Everything was going fine until the red wire was accidently cut short on the OEM TPS harness. Now the red wire in the wire loom and the very short red wire (same wire that needs to be soldered back together) on the TPS harness are almost impossible to wire back together! What do I do now? Can I specifically buy a new TPS harness and reinsert the appropriate wires and crimp them or can the old harness be salvageable if I can somehow get the red wire inserted or back together?? It looks like these wires are crimped into the harness. Man, I feel helpless right now. Any help really appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

Don't know if I can help you but my white/green wire to my map sensor had an open break right by the little rubber insulator piece that goes into the map plug. I got someone to sell me a map pigtail, took the little white clip out from the inside of the connector on the harness side and pushed the pin out with a real small pointed screw driver. Took the white/green wire from the pigtail and pulled it out. Put heatshrink on and soldered the wire from the pigtail to the oem harness wire that was to short. After I heatshrinked everything and put a bit of electrical tape on I pushed the new soldered wire into the oem connector and connected it back to the sensor!

 

Ok, I just compared the map sensor and tps sensor harness, they both are almost the same. How do I get that little white clip out of the TPS harness side without breaking it - Needlenose pliers? Thanks, and I look forward to another fast reply!

Is that what you need? If that wire is to short to connect to the oem harness you'd have to solder a wire from the harness to the yellow and white instead of the yellow and white to the harness?

 

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. The TPS Red wire is much shorter than the wire you just showed. It's actually broken off in the connector and I cannot grab enough wire to solder back together to the OEM harness. So, is this connector fixable or do I go ahead and get a pigtail connector for my Tps? Also, does the pigtail connector come with wires run from it or do you have to reinsert the OEM wires into it? Thanks alot, man

That's all you have to do. Take the little white clip from the harness side connector out carefully with a SMALL flat head screw driver. Then push on the connector side and push the old wire out of the tps. Figure out how much wire you need to make it right and solder the bish! Make sure you don't get the heatshrink to close to the solder point or it will melt when being soldered. Once your done you push the new wire back into your old connector and connect it back to the sensor. It's really not rocket science! You see what I'm saying, I did a map and my knock sensor wire like that! Hence why I've only got one more wire on this connector!

 

SHDriver99,

Thanks for the help last night man. I got through with the TPS harness. I was getting a little confused last night when I was reading some of your earlier posts because I was just plain tired and was reading without making sense. Anyway, what you said came to light when I really studied the connector. I took off the white clip, pushed the short, Red TPS wire/clip out of the connector, soldered a piece of longer wire to it with shrinkwrap, pushed everything back through the connector, then soldered my new wire coming from connector to the other red wire from harness that was cut.

Man, that saved me alot of time not to mention a trip to Honda to find a replacement pigtail TPS connector that wasn't necessary. Thanks again for the help man and all helpful members keep up the good work.

 

To be all honest with you I was going to send that wire and connector to you if it came down to you needing one but I'm glad you got a fix on it already. I'm always there to help if someone is nice about it. A lot of people on here are just the opposite cause they think they're better than the rest!

 

shdriver99, send me your wallet I need a replacement one. lol
