You Will Have Problems!

At $600 I'd have much bigger problems! Like paying my bills!

You can take a TPS off a junkyard unit and reset it.

LOL. PAY BILLS, that is true. junkyard, x's 2. you gotta know how though right?

Theres a DIY for removing the TPS and all that somewhere here....

i think you just need to somehow slot the head on the screw that holds the TPS to the TB and then use a screw driver to remove it.

Any junk yard Honda TPS will work. You don't need to use an Accord TPS. If you can find a 92-95 D series Civic TPS I'm pretty sure it has bolts to remove them (the one I bought did) and they will switch over to you H22 TB no problem.

Setting the TPS

You have to use a voltmeter to set the Throttle Position Sensor, the TPS sends a voltage signal to the computer to tell it how far open the throttle is. If it isn't set properly then the TPS will send the wrong voltage to the ECU when the throttle is closed, creating a bad idle.

To fix this you need it sending the right voltage when the throttle is closed.
There will be three wires going to the TPS.

The Green one is a ground
The yellow one is constant 5V
The red one fluctuates between 0 and 5V depending on how open or closed the throttle is.

You need to connect the voltmeter to the ground wire and the other one to the fluctuating wire by exposing some of the wires. Loosen the screws and shift the TPS around until it gives a voltage of 0.45 Volts when the throttle is CLOSED. It doesn't matter what it says at open throttle.

The harness must be plugged into the TPS which must be attached to the TB, therefore it is much easier to do this with the TB removed.

If you need to adjust the TPS, loosen the two small bolts holding it on and turn it either way until it gives the correct voltage. Some TPS's are attached with rivets instead, in this case you will need to use a Dremel tool or similar to remove it. If there are rivets holding it it is most likely still set from the factory and will not need setting.

ive got an f22a throttle body with working throttle position sensor...pm me if you want it.

[johndenver120]

damn thanx guys im kinda a noob and didnt know i could just use my f22a TB. so im just gonna do that seeing how the TPS sensor is still good on it.

awsome post GostAccord i saved that on a ms doc. for the future!

i read the DIY and might go that route if i discover the TB's are not the same.

You can't use the F22 TB on H22. You can use the TPS though.
