hey guys i tried searching and could not find out if the tps is the same on dpfi and mpfi.

i have a d15b2 in my 91 lx sedan and the tps needs to be calibrated. if it is broke i have a b16 tps sitting in my garage and i'm wondering if i can use it. i know the wires need to be switched, but is the sensor the same?
thanks honda tech

 

found an answer.
no they are not the same

 

Correct.

The two are exact opposites
and not interchangeable..

here is a side by side comparison:

yes you have to use the mpfi and switch the 2 outside wires.

exactly... I found this out last week because the TPS on this D16A6 I bought was crushed on it's way to me, and silly Kalm I thought I could just use the old D15B2's, come to find out they twist opposite directions of eachother

the correct answer is no. not yes
YOU CANNOT USE A MPFI TPS ON A DPFI MOTOR.

you know what, i did not read the question correctly. i thought he had an mpfi conversion. i read d16a6 and saw the throttle body so i figured he had mpfi. so to answer his question i dont believe you can use the mpfi on dpfi, even by swithing the wires.

Like I said, you can't because they rotate opposite ways from eachother. If you try to put the DPFI sensor on an MPFI throttle you won't be able to open the throttle.

 

Send me a PM if you want to buy a DPFI tps.

 

thanks george, but i got it lined up. it's all ok now
