So i need to replace my throttle position sensor, how are you susposed to remove them? the little rivvets i dont know how or if im suposed to pop those off? thanks in advance.

 

anyone?

 

you have to remove the t/b to apply the right amount of pressure to reomve the screws on the t/b, since they are a bitch you take out.

 

drill out the rivits, and when replacing the new TPS youll need to re-calibrate it.

easier to go to the junk yard and find a tb with a good tps

 

Grab a dremel, and cut a "slit" into it. Put a flat head screw driver to it, and take it out like a regular screw.

 

its a pita to take off cuz i guess honda didn't want you to remove them in the first place, what i did was get a dremal and cut slits like poison said it was really annoying but try to be careful not to brweak the top of the screw off and leave half in the whole cuz thats what i did

my junk yard doesnt have any b-series motors except for 1st gen LS's.

 

thats weird my b16's tps had it held on by torx screws

correct. I've also seen a lot of JDM engines that have screws holding 'em in. makes me wonder.

 

cut slits in the screws with a hacksaw/dremel anything like stated before, you calibrate it with a voltmeter, measure voltage on the middle wire I believe and it should be .45v at closed throttle and 4.5v at WOT, loosen the screws and twist it until it reads right.

 

can you elaborate the "twisting" more please? sorry.

 

you have 2 screws, when you loosen them both you should be able to rotate the tps sensor about 1/4 of an inch, the sensor should have slots cut in it that will let you rotate the sensor back and forth to get your proper .45/4.5v reading as stated before. if the reading is .40v at closed throttle for instance, rotate the sensor a tiny bit until you get a reading of .45v, good luck

 

alright cool.

 

you can use any b, d, or h series tps

Every JDM motor that I have ordered or installed has had screws instead of rivits.
Weird.
