I have two STR TB's, one was on my car working well, the other was sold to a fellow h-t'er. The guy I sold the other one to couldn't get TPS voltage right, so I went down and looked. With TPS moved all the way, voltage is 1.2 closed throttle, I backed off the adjustment screw and luckily pulled a 1.0v, then at WOT, voltage jumps to 5.98. 1.0V closed, 5.98 WOT. My solution to this problem was to take the throttle body out of his car and take the one off mine so that I don't get a bad rep for selling crap parts. On my car, I made the throttle cable so loose that it doesn't open all the way at WOT and pulls the right voltage.

Question is, is there any other adjustment on the TB to set voltage right? Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think STR will warranty this **** since I bought both from e-bay?

Edit: It runs fine the way it is now, but during quick shifts, the throttle cable falls of because it is too loose.

This kind of scares me..

I just recently got an STR 70mm and was actually hoping to put it on today (!!)

 

bump....anyone know another way to adjust tps other than turning the sensor?

 

Last bump....then I will give up on honda-tech and move on to, dare I say it, honda-acura.net...

 

make the holes on the tps bigger where the screw bolts it down

 

Thanks man, i'm so stupid, I've done that before.
