Default B20 throttle body, throttle position sensor question...

Hey guys,

Take a look at the throttle position sensor on my b20 throttle body:



Notice where the harness plugs in to it, is this missing a plug of some sort? Why is it just 3 prongs?

Also, can we use a d-series tp sensor in its place? If so, how do we get the b20 one off?....it appears to be riveted on there.

Thanks for your help...

All the TPS sensors are 3 prong and any TPS off of any honda motor will work. (i promise, do it all the time) Also the way to get it off is to take a punch and hit it right on the edge in a counter clockwise direction. Knocks it loose and then just un screw it. Use some nice allen head screws to reattach it.

But it doesn't unscrew...it's attached with rivets or something... Is it supposed to be?

And does that connector look normal to you...just the 3 prongs sticking out..no 'connector' or plug?

its not rivets, its just break away screws. when they are installed the heads are broken off so no one tampers with them... u just need to slot the part that is left, and u can turn it out with a screw driver... dremel works best.

Ahhh I see. So I can take this one off since the connector looks f-ed up, and use the one from my d16.

Thanks ppl!
