Gettting throttle position code. how do i fix. Car starts fine, but will not stay started. Thanks

 

check your TPS sensor on your throtle body,maybe you need to adjust it..i didnt know that the tps would cause your car not to run..i put my stock crx tps onto my b16 and i havnt even adjusted it yet and the motor runs fine..anyways good luck

 

You need a Volt-ohm meter Better known as a mulit-meter. Use a digital one. Find the TPs sensor and probe the middle wire (red). Ground the other lead. Turn the key to the on postition. Do not start the engine. Loosen the TPS mounting hardware and when you turn the sensor the voltage on the meter will change. With the throttle fully closed you should read as close to .5v as possible. Wide open throttle should read 4.5v Tighten the mounting hardware and recheck voltage. Reset ECU. HTH

What he says about adjusting your tps but I find it a bit odd that your car wouldnt stay on. I recently did a mpfi swap and my tps broke on the inside so I'm waiting for another one. Its not even connected and the car drives fine. I would click on the link before for troubleshooting codes. Let us know how it turns out.
