i was looking at a kids car today, because im looking to buy it, he said its running rich because the TPS sensor isnt put on correctly...

The car drives fine, but is he telling the truth... would a tps sensor cause the car to run rich?

 

If I'm thinking of the right sensor, I don't even know how you remove those without breaking it.

I would think though that if it was put on wrong, it would idle higher,
Ask the kid how he even got it off, and put it back on if that's the case..

 

If it's a JDM B16 then yes you can. I think mine came out with an allen key. The USDM's are riveted in.

 

yes it would. but the cel sould be on... and if it is then the car is in limp mode and will not run right till you get that sensor fixed.

 

Well the kid i talked to( a friend of the kid with the car)

Said he put the sensor on, without that spring thats in there
