Default Throttle positioning sensor (Cel 7)

Hey,
I have been getting a CEL7 which is TPS.... on my jdm b18c eg I replaced the TPS with one I got off my friend from a D series. I installed it got it all dialed it to oem specs. I didnt use a gasket because I couldent find one but i have heard you dont need them. One week later im getting the same code. I checked all the wiring going to the ECU all looks good. The CEL is not always on. On some trips it comes on... on others it doesnt. You thing I just got a shotty TPS? What could I try? Should I just buck up and get a new tps from some b series at honda?


Thanks
Paul

You eliminated the TPS itself so on to the wiring...

Check the connectors, and for wires that have been abused(Bent all which-a-way) and such.

Backprobe the ECU connector so you can see what the ecu is seeing and move the wires/connectors.

That is the next step anyway.
