Ok my idle has been messed up for a while. some guy said it was the tps and i was wandering how you go about adjusting it. And can you buy one from the dealer without having to buy the whole TB. thanks

 

No, and you cant...Unless you have a JDM TB..

 

Well i swapped my h23 for a jdm h22 so i do have a jdm TB.

 

oh, and did you get the note about the TPS? Don't forget to use the new cover sheet....

 

take a dremel and cut lines into the rivets, then you can unscrew it with a screwdriver.

 

sorry to bring up a old thread but,
2 questions..so can the u.s tps be adjusted
when adjusting it wich way do i move it ?i can see the tps screw holes is sort of a slot opening

 

youll have to get a voltmeter and read the voltage coming off the middle (red?) wire. not sure which way you turn it, but you should be aiming for .45 volts closed, 4.5 at WOT. every motor is different though, and an improperly calibrated TPS can cause all kinds of funky problems, surging idle ect. you may have to mess with it a bit before you get it just right.

check ebay for a sensor, ~$30

once you slot the rivets, the us one can be adjusted

 

thanks i will try that.when i test it does the car have to be running /

 

Are you supposed to adjust the TPS when the motor is hot or cold? The voltages will vary a bit when the car is warmed up....

 

The car doesn't have to be running, but the ignition should be on if you are trying to measure voltages. On old sensors there can be "dead" spots in its response, usually just off idle. The sensor is just a variable resistor with a little wiper inside it. With a lot of use the wiper will wear out or wear gaps in the resisitor film. If you have a multimeter with an audio output, you can hook it to the sensor and measure the resistance. Listen for gaps in the resistance response as you move the throttle. You can also do this by watching the readout, or if you have hondata you can log the sensors and look for weirdness that way or set the position using the voltage being displayed there. Temperature should be a minor factor, if at all.
