Default Car goes weird when ac or fan is on..

Whenever I turn my fan on my Car is alright for a bit... but if say I chagne the settings around a bit it throws a check engine light once in a while, same with the AC except with the ac my car's idle goes alot lower than what it normaly is... Say if im parked at a light with it on after driving a while... instead of say something like 800 at idle it goes down to like 300 idle or so... car also gives a pitch sound when driving not sure if thats something wrong there but when the ac is on and driving the car sounds different... Car also sometimes when messing with the ac and fan also my car will almost bog out and die if sitting stationary then my car will go check engine like and my fan and ac will turn itself off and wont turn on again unless i turn the car off and on again... any idea's?

throttle position sensor, its located on the back of your throttle body (the housing where your intake tube mounts into). it looks like this = http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc...=2439

i dont recommend buying this aftermarket product, get OEM, and i dont recommend changing it out yet. check your code first, like i said. do you know how to check for codes?

my bad i thought i was talking to the OP. but anyway, in your case, i never got a CEL either. you still might have a code 7 (tps). to check for codes... read this link carefully and follow instructions. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=978933
