TPS help

[jastunna1987]

Hey, i was trying to test and adjust my TPS...it was still connected to the harness and i set it down. I think i bumped it against the throttle body and it broke. Now my CEL is on and my car runs a lil rougher my air/fuel ratio gauge also doesnt work/isnt accurate. It was running a lil better a few days later, but the CEL was still on. My idle doesnt surge anymore, should i pull the ECU backup fuse, and try to reset the code? My idle is also at 1500 RPM..should i adjust the idle screw to fix that?

did you replace the TPS? when i got my engine it was broken already so i didn't change it when i started my car it idled at 2000 rpms and when i changed it the idle went down to 600 rpms so i think you need to change the tps still and then you should be good from there. if you changed it then yes i would pull the ecu back up fuse and then see if you get any codes from there

nah..i didnt change it, i was just testing the voltage on it. But like i said, i think it banged against the throttle body or somethin while i was taking it off. right now it idles at 1500 rpm and it boggs when im acceleratin under 2500 RPM. so should i just get a new one? I pulled the backup fused and adjusted the idle screw, still nothing.

Don't mean to thread jack, but where can you buy just a TPS by itself?
I need one for a GSR TB.

:unsure:


lol sorry i had to do that
i found them on the first two lines of just putting in civic Throttle Position Sensor and boom there it was

and your second URL has to do with honda CARS how? looks like bikes to me

go to the honda motorcycle dealership, and order a TPS sensor for a CBR 600.
Im pretty sure they are the same

Thanks,Ill Look into that

from honda, you can't directly order just a TPS, when you "bumped" or "knocked" it, did anything physically break off?

were you rotating the thing and measuring the voltage at the ECU?

 

[jastunna1987]

when i knocked it...nothing physically broke. I was rotating it, and measuring the wires at the TPS harness. I just needed to stick a voltmeter into the middle wire i think it was. Well, now it idles at 1500 RPM...and it runs a lil crappier. I'll have to order it from Honda huh? Well thats probably going to cost an arm..my friend works at the Honda dealer and gets a 40% discount though.

the issue is, you'll have to buy the whole throttle body assembly. they will not just sell the TPS. i would recheck it... if you click on my webpage in my sig, there is a how-to adjust a tps.

damn that sucks...
