Default Throttle Position Sensor

.............How the %^& do you get the TPS off of an old throttle body. And attach it to your existing throttle body, if there are no bolt heads, as to which you could apply leverage to get it off? or do you just have to buy a new throttle body? Any help would be really great.

In order to get a TPS from Honda you need to buy the throttle body. The TPS is held on by rivets.

You can use a dremel and cut into the rivits enough so that you can get a flat tip screwdriver in there and then just unscrew them. Then just use screws to secure it to the new throttle body. Don't forget to set it though.

when you set it, use the Helms manual to find out which wires to probe with your volt meter.
