okay so i was taking out the b16a out of my buddies crashed civic. and when i got it out with the engine hoist the engine jerked and crushed my sensor that is connected to the throttle . not the map sensor but i thinks it is the throttle position sensor. any way do i need to get a sensor from a b16 or can i use any throttle sensor from a single cam or does it have to be exactly from a b16a?

not to sure if one from a d-series would fit, but any from a b-series would.

alot, i search one of the dealer threads earlier when i fisrt posted. they don't even have a listing for it. you know what they say, if you have to ask for the price it's expensive.

man i need one like now and i called honda and they gave me a price of 184 dollars

 

okay it says that it will work with any honda or acura engines so does that mean that the one that i have will work for my b16 or is that just a typeo so they can sell that sensor

 

sensors are the same D:B - interchangeable.
you DO need a multimeter to install it correctly...you cant just slap it on and call it quits - you need to wiggle it around to get each pin into spec

 

so do i need to have the car on to wiggle it around and how would i now if im doing the wiggling right

 

anyone how do you take out the tps sensor if the screws are cut off? how do i take it off with out messing up the tps sensor

 

you can cut the the rivets off (heads) or try cutting slots into them and back it out with a screwdriver.
like i said, you need a multimeter to see the readings on each pin, with the throttle closed - it reads throttle position, afterall
readings will change when its moved around on the TB
