well i was driving today and all of a sudden, everytime i try to take off after coming to a stop the car would shake up to about 1500-2000 rpm and then drive normal. i was thinking that its my trans cause my car was rear ended two weeks ago (auto trans) but about 15 mins later the check engine light came on, i immediately pulled over and check out the code. i got a code 7 for the tps, so i'm hoping its the tps and not my trans. my questions are:

1. could i use the tps off of my d16z6 motor?
2. heard that i could unplug the tps and car would run fine, is it true, could i do this for now till i find a replacement?

 

1.yes.but,before replacing it,i would troubleshoot it.
2.i believe that will put the car in limp mode.you can do it,but i certainly wouldn't ride around like that for any period of time.

1. how could i trouble shoot it?
2. should i drive around with the tps plugged in then? cause this is my daily driver and my hatch isn't finished so i need a ride to school.

 

get a shop manual-even a $10 Haynes from any auto parts store has the troubleshooting procedure.

you have to measure the voltage at idle should be around .45volts and wot should be around 5volt.
d20 and d22 should be 5 volts.
d11 and d22 at idle should be .45volt and wot should be at 4.5volts

 

Ebay has TPS sensors for like $10.00. You could use any TPS from Integra-Civic 92-00. If you unplug the TPS sensor then the car WILL go into fail safe mode and retard everything. Heres the ebay link.

Or you can use the TPS from a CBR-954.

But you may want to test yours out first so your not blindly replacing parts and end up where you started.
