I had a few questions that a search may of been able to help me with but am not to fimilar with website because I am new.
I was wondering first;
- if a RSX-S came with a limited slip
-Second also if my TPS sensor clip was broke and wouldn't plug into my tps if it could be a problem with my car going into v-tec(which it won't) and also if it would make it idle high.

It seems that the sensor reading would tell the computer the percent throttle and may not let it engage if no reading was coming. Also I thought though that the map sensor probably sesnses load and might not need the TPS. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. lee

 

no lsd on the rsx im not sure about your other question


Good Luck
Kris.

 

thank you for that info. It is weird they do not have an lsd on it I think it is so common on any type of performance car nowadays.

Thanks again.----

 

yea thats true but the new civic si comes with an lsd which i think is kind of bs but o well cant do nothing about it but to buy one

 

u can just buy a LSD for $300

 

That is pretty cheap. Thanks, but does anyone know about the tps issue?>

 

The TPS does have a good bit to do with the motor because the ECU controls the timing in the ingition and overlap of the camshafts to give you the v-tec "punch". The engine is designed to work in harmony with all of the sensors in the motor and my guess is that without the motor knowing if the throttle is to the floor it's gonna have a hard time putting it in v-tec. Is it under waranty?

 

Its not actually I want to replace just the sensor but they only sell with entire throttle body which is aroudn $700 from dealership and $250 from junkyard. Not cool, so ya.

Are you serious? That sounds ridiculous. Wouldn't the sensor have its own part number?

 

Try looking somewere like Advance auto parts, Autozone, O'rielly, NAPA or online or other local parts shops for it.

 

I havent looked yet but will but yes it is truely out of control and they say they cannot get me just the TPS.
