TPS Placement
car: 91 crx si
motor: stock jdm b18c siR-g
This is how my TPS sits right now on my intake manifold (stock dual runner):
TPS plug will NOT connect to sensor because heater core inlet is in the way. Even if I remove the fuel line bracket, the top heater core inlet will still be in the way, plus I have to fit a hose there.
Can I just flip the TPS 180 degrees so it's pointing up and not down? The bolts will still line up, and I figure since TPS works off electric current, it just might work but not exactly sure.

Re: TPS Placement (gursh d)
Get a skunk2 intake manifold.
Even though i havent tried nor thought of flipping the TPS, something tells me it wont work.
TPS operates a little something like this: At idle, voltage at the tps will be somewhere in the .25-.5V range. As you increase the the throttle (push on the gas pedal), the voltage will steadily climb upwards to a maximum of 4.5-5V at full throttle. You can try to flip it...just check with a volt meter to see if it operates correctly.
