So my car is now throwing a TPS code. Will any honda/acura TPS fit my car (d16y7 auto)? I've searched but no one was really sure. Also, if honda doesnt sell a new gasket for it seperate, is it ok to reuse the old one?

 

Yep should be interchangable. and gasket should be fine.

 

the TPS is located on the opposite side of the throttle cable, correct? the one on the back is the MAP?

BTW - if the gasket is messed up, can I buy a new gastket for it from Honda? Im thinking they dont even sell those cause they dont sell TPS sensors by themselves.

Its usually on the firewall side of the throttle body. Honda should sell TPS and gaskets, I dont know why they wouldnt.

 

They sell the entire throttle body with the TPS attached to it so they make more money. You cant buy a seperate TPS from Honda.

 

bump for more input

 

so i switched it out for another one and i get a voltage reading of 9 flippin volts at closed throttle. what gives?

 

Am i using the multimeter wrong?

 

any b/d series should work fine
go to autozone for the gasket they sell the diy stuff for 88 cents

 

you can adjust the TPS by moving it slightly(clockwise or counterclockwise).
you need to put the multimeter needle in the Middle wire and the other to a ground, I usually ground it straight to the battery.
