well i took the tb off and put it on thinken everything was ok first time i started the car the cel came on but was flickering for a week it kept doing that then i started 2 notice when it came on ... my pushing the gas would make the car buck and when i let off the gas

tonight i was racen a type s and on the way home when i shifte 2 4th and went to go past 3k it started buckin like crazy and the needle went all over when i dropped under 3k it seemed 2 b fine... after headaches of buckin like crazy on the way home my friend took out the tps sensor and it seemed 2 idle fine

my question is is my clip bad or my sensor or does it seem to be off set because i never took the screws 4 the sensor out may i of maybe knocked it off? any help is very apreciated save me from some more concusions

 

I didnt think you could adjust the tps sensor.Could you please explain how you adjusted it for inquiring minds who want to know.

 

There's a screw on it I believe. I think it has to do with resistance on the line.

 

there are 2 screws that bolt it to the throttle body, loosen the screws and its adjustable. you need a DVOM to correctly adjust it.

 

The TPS isn't really adjustable, nor is it really replaceable. The two things that look like rivets holding it in are screws. You can cut a slot in those and remove it and you can adjust it a small amount. Ask honda for a TPS, and you'll get one, along with a throttle body...

When you backprobe (with a multimeter) the output wire of the tps you should be getting a reading between .45 and 4.5 volts (I think it's .45 at closed and 4.5 WOT). The reading should sweep through .45 and 4.5 as the throttle is applied. If it doesn't, your tps has taken a ****. note: the ignition must be on to do this, engine doesn't have to be running

Inspect the connector, then backprobe the tps...

 

yea it was wierd i didnt actually loosen the screws at all just took the tb off and put it back on but i did disconect everything and put it back and initally i had the tps clip in the map sensor then took it off real quick and threw it on the right spot may this of f'ed up the clip going into the sensor
also i think maybe puttin on the coolant line again maybe i just knocked into it hitting it slightly off

again tho i never loosened the screws

 

what id DVOM?

 

digital voltage & ohm meter or multimeter. and yes the TPS is adjustable, not from the factory, but it is adjustable. you can buy a replacement TPS, but not from honda for warranty purpases.

 

Some TPS are riveted on. If this is the case I suggest you dont tamper with them.
Anyway sounds like yous has screws so if you want to try setting it this might help

i have never seen riveted TPS, i think you mean anti-tamper screws. they look kind of like rivets, take a dremel or something and put a line in them to use a screwdriver, thats how i've done all of them.

Correct, its not actually a "RIVET" but it is a flat surface. And like mentioned, just dremel a straight line in it and remove with a straight slot.

Damn, never heard it put it like this but I got a good laugh out of it. Good luck.

Aah ok. Yeah I've never seen riveted ones either we don't get them over here. Just looked like a rivet from pics I've seen
