Default dx and lx ef's are doomed when it comes to tps no one online has any in stock althoug

although it says there are in stock they do not have them they are back ordered

i just talked to thmotorsport's and aptuned

the part number i found was tps-pre-om

the only way to fix that tps is a new throttle body or buying a used one from a forum some where

that's really scary almost forceing you to swap engines so you never have this problem again lol

I believe that is the recommended way to replace it (referring to buying a new throttle body as whole). That's why they are riveted into place on the throttle body.

then why are jdm motors fixed with a torx bolt on them and replaceable, same cars, same part numbers, different bolts. it just is what it is, its TOTALLY fine to just replace a TPS, many many many many other auto makers let you do it in fact its very common on a lot of others that you adjust the TPS as well.

We're doomed.. not because the TPS.. Its because every vehicle on the road will have to be obd2a or obd2b, in order to be plugged in for diagnostics that will be mandatory in every State...give it time!

Theirs a bunch of write up on how to do mpfi swaps on here its very cheap. Most of the parts u can get from craigslist or a junkyard. I would consider it man.

Do not attempt mpfi swap you would know where to begin... You need to first learn about your car which you haven't yet...
