During the engine swap it hit the firewall and broke the connector. We were gonna just replace it with one from the other car but it seems its screwed on from the inside. How do these come off? Does the whole throttle body need to be removed?

 

i had the same problem my motor came with a broken tps...just take a dremel tool and make a notch in the top screw..then just take a flat head and screw it out....and i dont know exactly what you are doing but my tps from the stock motor worked for my b16

 

this will work.. or just grind down far enough that the tps slides over the head of the lil screws & then un-screw the loose screws afterwords.. either way thats how you get it off.

yes, most honda TPS sensors are identical

 

keep in mind that TPS's are rivetted onto the throttle body for a reason. they have to be in an exact position to read correctly. in most cases you have to replace the entire throttle body.

 

if you don't have a dremel tool, you can do what the honda mechanics do. Just take a flat head screwdriver and "tap" if onto the head of the rivet with a hammer or mallet. This will create a slot for the screwdriver, and then the rivet will just screw out like a screw normally would. As for position of the thing, Rice burner is technically right, but I've done a TPS change so many times and never had a problem so, I'd say go for it. Just change it out for the one in the old motor.

 

like everyone else said, dremel the rivets til u can get a flat head screwdriver to unscrew it. and no u dont have to replace the entire tb if the tps is messed up. get a replacement tps from another tb, (honda doesnt sell the tps by itself) go get some replacement screws, and u have to calibrate the new tps with a multimeter. .5v closed, 4.5v wot. i would know because i had to replace my tps last year and calibrate and it works like factory.

 

very informative thanx! well we already swapped the tb with a spare d16z6 we had laying around... this motor was gonna be sold but we picked at it so much I guess its just a spare parts motor.

 

thats the info you need to make it work properly if you're gonna replace just the TPS. good stuff. :thumbup:
