ok guys i did a little research on this code...its a throttle positioning sensor error, but ive gotten two differnt things out of it. one: someone on one of the threads i looked at said it was the O2 sensor, then the other which i take to be more correct said the TPS was left unplugged. since i think this one is more correct than the other, then i guess i want to know where is the TPS located?

buy the way its a 91 CRX DX D15B7...i dont think that this should be any reason that a code would be differnt...IE stock CRX dx came with a D15B2. i looked at the crx mantinace book and thats what the book said...TPS, but since i dont have the stock motor would that effect the codes?
thanks in advance.

 

7 is the TPS, which is on the backside of the throttle body

i have another question

would the TPS cause you CEL to come on?
i was driving around the other day and it came one, but not right away, it was more like 15 or so min into the drive. if i turn the car off and restart it, the CEL goes off. clues anyone?

bump...do it

yes TPS will give you a CEL - it is normal for some things to not show up right away when you start the car, particularly things that the ECU needs to read as you go along, like the TPS, VSS, etc. - every time you shut the ignition off the CEL will go away, however, the ECU is still storing the code - if you were to look at the ECU, the code will always be there (even if CEL is not on) until you clear it - it could be an intermittent problem and if you reset the ECU, it may go away - code 7 is code 7 on all OBD0 ECUs

 

thanks for all your help dude

 

ok so how do i get rid of this ******* code7. i looked at the wires in the back of the throttle body they seem ok, they are all conected, and seem to be doing their job, but when i was drving at not even half throttle the motor hesitated a little. like it wanted to do off, but didnt. it has happend a few times since then, but not as bad...so how do i get ride of the code7

bump, this is my daily driver, and now the hesitation is getting worse. it feels like a hic-up of some sort...please help

your TPS is most likely misadjusted. The way to adjust it is to rotate it until a certain voltage comes out of it. I have no idea what the voltage is though.

 

dude im dying here, i have no idea what the hell, do you have a diagram of where the TPS is located, i was under the impression that was in back of the throttle body, and how would i test the voltage?

 

I had the same problem with my crx. Just fixed it actually. Their is 3 wires coming from the sensor: yellow, red, and another one i dont remember. shave/strip a little piece of insulation off the red wire to be able to see the actual wire. Make sure the sensor is all plugged in. turn key to on position (car doesnt have to be on) and get your volt meter (DC). Put the postive lead (Red) on the red wire (that you stripped) and negative lead (black) on negative battery post. At closed throttle, it should be .5v, wide open throttle 4.5v. if it needs adjustment, you need to drill out the rivits that hold the tps down and adjust it left or right, then just replace the rivits with screws. Good luck, i ended up getting a diff tps from the local junk yard.

 

is there anyother throttle body that will fit? it has to be from a sohc motor right? or would i just have to get the TPS...and what other car can i get the TPS from?

 

DPFI needs a DPFI TB I think, but if it's got the b7 intake stuff you can use almost any d series besides super small stuff like hf and vx. I think, I dunno for sure.

 

I used the tps off a d16a1 (86-89 Integra) dohc motor. Works perfect, plenty of them at the junkyard too

 

will the dohc TPS work with my sohc motor?

Don't go shaving the insulation off the wires, open up your ecu from the underside and check the connections that correspond to the tps. On my car they are C7 and C12 iirc. Then you can loosen the tps off and move it so that at fully closed you get 0.45V - 0.5 V. That should give you about 5V when the throttle is fully open.

If you find that it's not adjustable and you have to replace it, you'll need to set it up properly anyway. It's not a big job but two people make it a lot easier.

HTH

bump for this question?

 

The DOHC 86-89 Integra tps will work i'm telling you its on my car right now (SOHC d16a6).

dandizel is a cheat, I tried to purchase an ECU from him and he took my money and did not deliver on the goods


edit: he refunded my money

sorry for this inconvenient post in the middle of this thread
