How exactly am I supposed to get the voltometer wires in contact with the yel/wht and grn/wht wires? Im assuming the tps needs to be adjusted while the tps plug is connected.

 

Hook the (-) from the voltmeter to any ground.
Stick a pin into the wire signal wire on the tps, and get your reading from that.
I beleive its the white wire? someone prolly remembers which one.

 

so ur sayin the tps doesnt have to be plugged into the tps plug for me to get the reading?

 

come on.. someone help me. Im tryin to do this right now.

the TPS has to be plugged in yes.

 

I've seen and pretty much studied those two pages. My question is how am I supposed to get access to bare wires that I can use to measure the voltage. That 2nd page says to use a "test harness" if Im not mistaken. I dont have one of those.

 

expose the wires from the wiring harness end (female plug) and use some extra wire to attach the voltmeter probes to them and then when you are done, sauter them back and put heatshrink around it.

 

Damn, is that what everyone does? Cut the wires and then re-solder them?

 

if you have some thin sharp-tipped probes or really thin single strand wire you can insert it between the rubbergasket and the wire itself then test them. Also on the ECU side if you take the white plastic clip out you can test with a multi meter probe on the outside of the wires and it wont hurt anything if use common sense of course. I never splice into the wires, you can always find away around that one I think

Best sounding options so far.. Im gonna try the 2nd one.

 

Or like someone already mentioned, use some sewing pins, and poke them through the wire, then clip your test leads onto the pins.

 

How about a T pin shoved into the middle wire (red/blue wire). I usaully probe the wire with my volmeter lead.

 

Ok another question.. on this page it shows to mess wish a dashpot something..? What is it and is there any shortcut around this somehow?

Heres the page:




Heres the portion Im talkin about:

 

??

 

not all cars have them. It is/was on the throttle body in 88-91 SI. Sorry for the bad pic but first one could steal from e-bay
Its the bottom of the throttle body likes like a Rx-7 rotor mmmmmmmm rotor opps sorry. Its rounded triangle has a bar that runs to the throttle mechanicinism

 

Maybe I got lucky, but I adjusted the tps and started up the car, and no CEL but the ecu was still throwing a code 7. I reset the ecu and no more code, I was ****** happy... finally got rid of the problem.

Then i tried to rev it, it'll sit there and hesitate for a second and then it'll rev up. This only happens when I slam the gas and have it at WOT. When I gradually rev it goes smooth. Whats my problem?


EDIT: I see I'll have to make a new thread about this... maybe I should name it "CRX BABES HAVING SEX!".. might get a couple more responses.

will do, what do u think i should get

 

i was jokin bro... im going to be getting spec-v at the end of this summer i want to do something different (turbo- by the time i get the car and stuff there might already be a kit from jwt but at least i can make my own) and well 6speed, new, 2.5L compared to my b16. i cant afford a rsx and those will be overdone soon enough by eeryone.

 

I guess u've never seen me posting here before. I'd never get rid of my crx. I was joking too and when i read what you wrote I was so incredibly pissed.. bad bad words were running thru my head, so I just decided to be sarcastic instead of cussing u out and possibly getting banned for it or something.

 

dont get me wrong i dont want to sell my crx either but the specv will make a great daily driver. right now i have the crx and a corolla. the corolla needs replaced it makes me depressed, slow, lose suspension, looks bad.

off subject here someone help this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Have you check the timing belt to make sure it's in time? or the distributor timing? these should be checked just to make before anything.
