Hey guys...

a friend just got his H22a 93 Civic back from the shop and while he was playing around in the engine bay he broke the TPS sensor, at least i think thats what it is, its on the throttle body, facing the firewall and has 3 wire plug that plugs into it..where the wires plug in, that whole part broke off...

how much are these things from Honda, and more importantly, will a TPS from any other Honda engine work?

his H22 is from a JDM 1996 if that means anything...

Urgent response please guys....

his getting a check engine light now...

 

damn man
them things are a pain in the ass.
ok.....
now, some say u cant replace them, that u have to buy a new TB because the TPS a set to the particular throttle body. and honda sets them for the factory.
it u take ur throttle body off, u will see that theres kno what it can come off....(says honda) so this is how they get u to get a whole new TB. but u can use any TPS from 89-up from any honda. honda or any auto part store does not sell them either.
u have to go to a junk yard and take one off the TB.
if u have an after market Throttle body then its easy to take off, i have an aftermarket so mine was helled in place with hexagon screws.
but it urs or ur friends is stock, then he has to either drill it off the throttle body, buy a whole new throttle body or get a saw or dremel and but a slit on the top of the screw holding the TPS to the throttle body, just enuff to get a flat head srew driver on it to screw it off, cause if u notice, the screw doesnt have a screw head.

once u get pass all that BS u have to set the TPS to the throttle body (thats if u go the route of just replacing the tps instead of buying a new throttle body)
to set it, u need a volt meter
place the TPS on the throttle body, screw it in a little, just enuff so that its snugg.
place the negative from the volt meter to the green wire i think, and hte positive to the red wire.
u should see a voltage.
thing about this is u have to kno what the stock voltage was, because if the TPS is being put on a different TB then it was on, the voltage is not accurate.
like mines....

i just had to replace mines a month ago, i went thru 3 TPS before i got it right, they break easily.
someone had told me that all honda TPS voltage should be set at .45v
well i set mine to that and it was all ****ed up. i have a 90 accord so i checked my other accord which is the same year, it was set at .83v
so i set mines to that and it ran perfect.
guess it depends on the make or motor

to set the TPS, once u have it on snugg u just move it counter clock wise or clock wise as neccessary. the voltage will either increase or decrease. u want to get it as close as posible to the recommended voltage for ur motor.
hope that help, like i said, the shits a head ache
if ur friend has the money i say just get a new TB
i would have but i paid 150 to get mines bored out and i didnt want to go back to a stock TB

 

he can try to get a used throttle body with the sensor mounted (easiest) or he can get the sensor itself and drill out the rivets on the old one, and then its a matter of finding sheet metal screws to fit the rivet holes.
some1 had a writeup on this pretty recently.

everyone should take note of this case:
MOST jdm engine importers specifically deny responsibility and warrantee on sensors (sometimes EGR and TPS only), because these sensors are very likely to be broken when removing the engine from a vehicle, due to engine lift points and the proximity to the firewall.

yeap, sorry bout that, a new or used TB

but when i had this happen to me (someone told me my car was reving high because the TPS was busted, so i thought i could just change it and be str8.....sh....it)

i went all week trying to find info on how fix it. i even got my car up to a Honda specialist in my neighborhood (i kno the owner)
and he was like u cant set the TPS, it comes already set from the factor, i was about to cry, but i kept at it and found the info and fix it

 

Locate the TPS sensor. It’s the black sensor located on the passenger side of the throttle body.
Connect scan tool or voltmeter.
(Note: To connect a voltmeter take a sewing pin and probe the middle red wire. Connect voltmeter positive lead. Take another sewing pin and probe the bottom black wire. Connect voltmeter negative lead.)

Turn ignition key to ON with engine OFF.
With the throttle in the closed (idle) position check scan tool to see if the TPS is set within range (.36-.44)
With the throttle in the fully open position (WOT) check scan tool to see if the TPS is set within range (4.50-4.85).
* If the idle and WOT settings are within range go to step 10.

(Note: Any obstruction under the accelerator pedal such as a floor mat and transmission TV dent cable adjustment can affect WOT TPS setting. It’s best checked by a friend pressing down on the accelerator pedal.)

Loosen the two mounting screws just enough that the sensor can be moved.
The WOT TPS setting is attained by moving the TPS forward. Once you've got it pulled forward cinch down on the bottom screw very lightly so it will keep the bottom of the TPS from sliding backward. Then loosen top screw just enough to allow the front of the TPS to be moved up or down with light tapping. Moving the bottom of the TPS will adjust idle settings.
Tighten both adjustment screws.
Repeat steps 4-8 until proper idle and WOT settings are obtained.
Verify settings with a test drive.

diferent car but pretty much same procedures.
just check the stock voltage of the TPS for the motor your dealing with
