Default Throwing a code 7, for throttle angle sensor?

How do I fix that.

Also before today I was throwing a code 5 for MAP sensor, I had one vacuum hose coming from the fire wall that was unconnected and clamped off so I connected it into some other vacuum hoses and the code went away, however now the idle is at like 2000rpms where before it was right on the money. What is the deal with that?

you probably connected it to a wrong hose if you just ran it into another hose lol and are you sure your wires were hooked up right on the crank angle sensor? what did you do a ZC swap or a MPFI swap? info helps

I'm not even sure where the crank angle sensor is.

Anyone have a vacuum diagram for the ZC, all the ones I have seen don't work right.

And I have a ZC so I had to do MPFI also.

The crank angle sensor is in the distributor. test the tps sensor. with the ignition in the run position connect an ohm meter to the outside wires of the tps sensor. then either move the throttle or have someone do it and the resistance should change. open throttle it wil be higher and closed will be lower. i think thats right.

with the vacuum lines its pretty much guess and check. when i mpfied my civic i had two vacuum lines and two vacuum fittings. the car ran pretty much the same with the lines reversed.

How the hell can the Distributor sense the crank shaft when the Dist is on the head of the engine?

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the "crank sensor" was the sensor on the exhaust cam in front of the distributor?

I think thats the Cylinder Position Sensor, I already had that code, it was #9.

No it was because my timing belt was off by like 2 teeth. I fixed it the other day and that code went away. Cars are too damn smart, all knowing whats wrong with them and ****, THEYS SHOULD HAVE PRINTERS IN THEM AND PRINT OUT INTSTRUCTIONS TO TELL US HOW TO FIX THEM!
