Yesterday whille swapping in a b17 into my friends car we broke the tps sensor does anyone know how to change the tps sensor? Could I just use a whole new b16 intake manifold??

 

im not 100% but isnt your TPS sensor on your Throttle Body?

 

yeah but i'm talking about swapping the whole intake manifold with the throttle body.

 

Why when all you need to swap out is the TPS

 

unless you go to a junk yard you can't realy buy just a tps. they're not make to come off of the throttle body. your best bet is to change out the throttle body or drill the tps off of another throttle body and replace the broken one.

 

where the hell is the tps? man I got to be ready for when I Do my swap...

 

TPS (throttle position sensor) is on the side of the throttle body (closest to firewall). Uses the exact same size clip as the MAP sensor, but MAP sensor is on top of throttle body.

 

^^ to what he said.

you can't just get a tps, i tried to change mine from a throttle body off another civic, i coudlnt screw it out. they arnt suppose to come off i think. I know you can drill it. but...

 

it's possible to change out just the TPS, it's just a matter of finding just the TPS itself. i've changed out mine on my b16 cuz when it got pulled from the car, the sensor smacked the firewall. what i did to change it was i took a little die cutter, cut slits into the two headless screws holding the TPS onto the throttle body, and i used a flat head to take off the screws. i found the TPS from a local speed shop around my area and the owner hooked me up with it. that's your best bet, as far as getting just the TPS.
