Default Car Concern...

I've been driving my accord around like this for the past 3 days now. When i go to start my car in the morning, it runs fine. Till i get back in it to drive her somewhere else, like after waiting 3 hours or something. Anyways, the speedometeor won't work...then i get a check engine light like after a minute...code 7 (TPS Sensor.) Question are, are TPS sensor's a bizzatch to install and remove? I know MOST TPS sensors off of Hondas would work. Or if not, would the EX (LX) Throttle body fit my (DX) accord and not trick the (DX) ecu? Last but not least, would the TPS sensor cause the speedo not to work?

Thanks for any ideas and replies.
I have checked my TPS sensor for cracks or a bad plug, but it all looks fine?

Try disconnecting your battery for 10 min. This may seem dumb but I had a similar problem and it reset it self..

So you think the ECU maybe tricking itself? If not, would the EX or LX throttle bodies fit my DX intake manifold? That way i wouldn't have to deal with taking off the TPS sensor and all that unnecessary work.
