Ok I looked at these closely, but still cant figure it out. Will a TPS off a DPFI manifold fit on a MPFI manifold?? They are very similiar. thanx

 

it wont work if you notice the dpfi tps spins in a different direction then mpfi

 

darn...well then I have another question..how do I convert a dx wiring harness to work with a 92-95 dist.?? I am doing a d15b vtec swap in my 89 civic dx

 

it will work you just have to swap the two outter wires... my friend did that on his dx that he put a d16z6 into and it worked perfecto.. did it to my car to which is a crx dx with the same engine you are putting in and although my car isnt running yet i get no code for the tps

 

you used the dx TPS??

 

what you have to do is depin the outer wires on the tps plug and switch positions since they rotate opposite directions, then that plug should fit the new throttle body and everything should be turkey gravy

exactly.

 

I am really confused now I can use the dx tps if I switch the wire? or I cannot use the dx TPS at all?

 

You cannot use the dx tps. The housing is different, so it won't bolt up.

 

You can use a DPFI TPS on a DPFI throttle body only..

You can use a MPFI TPS on a MPFI throttle body only..

Each one is the complete opposite in design and will not work
with the other..

As previously stated "it won't work"..

It will bolt up,But the throttle plate won't open
Because it is designed to work in the opposite direction..

 

thank you for clearing that up...thanx all

So... what if you depin it and switch the wires?

 

Either way if you do use a mpfi tps u have to switch the pins around on the connector. so my suggestion just use mpfi and switch the pins cause most likely in the future you'll upgrade....every one does

 

It won't work period..

Try it and see for yourself and Please post your results
here because I could use a good laugh..

The TPS sensor is attached to the "butterfly"..
The actual part that opens when you push the gas pedal down..

Now put on a part that was designed to operate in the opposite direction,
And it is going to bind and break because
it is not supposed to be turned in that direction.



Do you get it now or should I break out the crayons?
