I know its my TPS that must be fucked. I just checked over every single vacuum hose and Im still getting the sloppy/high idle

I cant install my Zex kit until I get this solved so I wont let this thread die
Here comes the fleet of questions

What wires am I sticking my multimeter in? Im talking right off of the tps, not from the ecu

The car is off right?

What I think I do so far, turn the car off and click it over once, stick the positive wire(red) into which wire from the tps _______, and stick the black wire from the multimeter to the _______ coming out of the tps. If the reading isnt .45-.5 & 4.5V then it needs to be played around with

Just have no idea really what Im sticking my multimeter into

 

You could check the diagnostic code on your blinking ecu. That would tell you forsure.

 

not getting any CELS on the dash

 

if the TPS is out of calibration or not installed it will give a code! i know for sure, i have had TPS problems ever since i did mpfi, but after i got working tps and wiring fixed, it made a big diff. u can try turning the tps and using your multimeter calibrate it for correct voltage at idle

Your computer can still have some trouble codes stored into it or have some trouble codes that did not set the check engine light off.

 

Oh really? Im going to install my Pg7 and see how it runs as well

But first I guess I might as well check for the code on the ecu, how to you check for codes at the ecu?

Still looking for info on how to adjust the tps

 

To adjust the tps you need to cut the rivets in the back so you can use a screw driver to loosen the rivets, then you hook a volt meter to the tps and turn the tps. To see if your throwing codes, pull back carpet, take metal shield off ecu and see if the light flashes.

 

And there should be 3 wires Im looking for right? Which side of the i/m am I looking at? Im gonna do this tonight, I read all 79 threads that came up in my search but couldnt find one explanation as to where to hook my multimeter up to

SHould i put my pg7 in before or after I do this?

 

Go to kragen and buy a damn service book jeez

 

Ive got a haynes *******, you know what it says?

"The throttle angle sensor and circuit on these models must be checked by a dealer service department or other qualified repair shop as special tools are required"

dont speak **** like that

Now, can I get some wire help

 

I forgot what color the wire was, do a search you will find it.

 

ya haynes sucks and your an idiot trusting h-t techs who are all like you. Here read the blinks on your ecu thats your code scholar. no blinks no codes.

 

Im an idiot for coming on a Honda tech site and asking questions?

Why the **** are you here then? You just the like presence of males?

Bump

 

 

 

i believe its the red and green wires. have you ever had your throttle cable off?

if your fully open reading is about 4.5V and only your fully closed reading is off...then just play with the throttle cable tension or throttle stop screw. if you have a dashpot you may have to put a vaccum on it.

helms says 0.5V
hondata says 0.45V
and i run mine about 0.47V

with the reading taken right at the sensor. (dont know if there is any slight voltage loss to the ecu?) also reset your idle according to the procedure in the helms manual.

 

Anyone can clarify what he said above?

All I know is that there is a red wire in teh middle, I dont know what the other 2 colors are, just red the middle wire for my zex kit was in the middle.

So would the multimeter be attached to the 2 outer pins??

That is some funny sh*t. Yes, it is the green and red wires. There is some plastic insulation around the wires inside the plug. You may have to pull those back a bit in order to make contact with the actual wire. I am emailing you a pic right now to show you what I mean. Let me know if you receive it.

 

Some people just **** me off sorry lol

thanks for the info

Im just pissed because a hole in the frame was supposed to be welded underneath but my grandpa cancelled the guy to come and I sat around here all day when I could have been over there getting my car ready for the road, they didnt even call me to tell me they cancelled the guy, bunch of *****

Thanks for the pic your gonna send

So how is this procedure done...do you put in ignition key and turn to "on" position but not started? Strip small piece of RED and GREEN wires before TPS sensor? Read voltage at WOT and idle and move TPS sensor accordingly?


If you can post up that pic you have so we can all see...

"Why the **** are you here then? You just the like presence of males?"

Yes.. he is a lesbian trapped in a man's body...

 

I never recieved the photo form that guy but ya like you said I think thats how its done, the tps is on the back side and on the right of the intake mani right?

 

it's on the back of the throttle body and the sensor comes off at an angle downward. It's directly opposite where the throttle cable connects to throttle body.

Keep your worthless comments to yourself.
