how much is a tps for a 91 civic si and can i just get one from a different model civic or crx...also my lower ball joints are bad and when i was trying to put the bolts on they just spin the stud...is there a way i can get them on with out getting new lower balljoints?

(i cant get new ones till i have a car to drive)

thanks
justin

 

use a TPS from any 88-00 Civic/Integra/CRV, sohc or dohc, vtec or non vtec, except for the 88-91 DX/LX Dual Point 1.5L motors are larger and can't be used

 

You may have to grind the two rivet type things off the donor and use some bolts on the new one. To this day I don't know why honda does that. And if you try and buy just a tps at the dealership they tell you that you need to buy the whole TB. pfffft.

 

My 2nd gen B16a actually came with phillips screws on the TPS, and from the looks of it they were factory. Who knows, the usdm motors always have rivets..
And actually, you dont need to grind the head all the way off the rivet. If you can slot it for a screwdriver, they will just screw off.

 

Damnit why didn't I ever do that. Here I am grinding those bastards down all the time. Shoot.

 

mine didnt have rivets. had to dremal em in. that was after I busted the tps sensor.

 

If you're looking for some nicer screws to bolt the TPS back on with, the screws that bolt the stereo brackets to the dach in a Toyota are perfect size and length. most Stereo shops have a bin full of these screws (mine does anyway.)

you answered your own question:
more $$$ for them.
