My car threw a code and I and got it read and it was "pedal position sensor" shop said that im going to have to replace my throttle body. I wanted to know if it is worth getting a bigger throttle body or if I should just replace with oem. I got dc headers with collector mod to 2.5 inch and custom 2.5 inch exhaust and aem CAI. No other mods. thanks!

 

could try just replacing the TPS

 

yeah all you need to do is replace the throttle position sensor......they were just trying to sell you the throttle body and everything all together for their benifit

 

big TB's can give you idle and part throttle problems if you dont have it tuned

 

don't listen to them, they're just kidding. buy my tb.

 

According to Slhondaparts, you cant buy the TPS separately from the $600.00 throttle body assembly. Id try to source a used switch bro....

 

 

The USDM TPS sensors were riveted onto the TB, whereas the JDM have screws and are adjustable! The reason for this being the emissions in the USA. You could just lookaround for a JDM OEM throttle body and sensor so if you ever have future problems with your TPS it is cheaper and easier to fix. Or if you have the resourses drill and tap your current TB for the TPS.

They are not rivets. They are screws that twist off when installed to leave a blank head. Go to a scrap yard with a hacksaw and a flat screw driver. Find just about any honda TB and notch the blank screw heads with the hacksaw, then unscrew them and remove the sensor.

I have done this several times. That sensor sticks out so it always gets smahsed when an engine is shipped on a pallate and I have to find replacements.

 

an "Easy out" screw extractor will also work to get the TPS off the IM.

 

if you're baller you can bring a battery dremel with a cut off wheel

 

i just used a drill and a small screwdriver, drilled out the center and pried on it, and the whole thing popped off leaving 2 screw holes.

 

i have a jdm throttle body with adjustable tps $125 shipped
if u need it

 

you have like everything in the world, thats car related. lol

 

Thanks for the help guys I think IM gonna pm SKDRCR and see if I can just get the TB from him.

 

mines only 50
