Default WTF TPS only sold as part of throttle body for B16(a2)

Need to replace TPS on my B16 (in an Ek) call the Honda dealership ahead of time to make sure they have the part, and I am told it is only sold as part of throttle body for like $600.

They all read the same voltage. The bolt holes should be the same.

I think I have a TPS laying around as well.

dremel a gash in each screw head and use a flat screwdriver to unscrew them, they are blank screws, not rivets or anything like that.

wow i managed to say screw 4 times in 1 sentence, and not one of them referred to sex

ooh gash and head also in there. The dirtiest clean post ever...

VAGINA
there fixed it

If you get the shop to swap out the TPS for you make sure they check the replacement one with a volt meter to insure it's reading properly. There is somewhat of an "adjustment" for the TPS and it needs to be within range.

...this is if yoy swap out the TPS rather than the entire TB.
