Check it out. Search ebay for: Omni Power Honda Acura TPS sensor

Never realized anyone sold these separate from the throttle body.

It will require you having to drill out the rivets on your throttle body to remove the existing TPS sensor but hell it sure beats paying $$$ for a new throttle body.

I need to do this. Been getting P0122 when the car is cold started.

 

So you ordered one?

 

Hmm. Nice find and thanks for the info.

 

Going to tonight.

 

If the original TPS is attached with rivets, how are you going to attach the replacement? I see that it says it comes with installation bolts, but if there is no threading in the TB, then bolts won't work.

 

Drill and tap.

 

Alright. Ordered one last night. $49 shipped. I'll post a DIY once I get a chance to install it.

 

There is threading in the TB where the TPS is. I just replaced mine about a week ago with a TPS from a V6 Accord. What my buddy did was (of course take off the TB) grind down the metal on the outside where the two screws are until it was pretty flat. Then he took a grinder with a cutting wheel and came in with the blade and started cutting into what was left. He went down far enough to make sort of a flat head screw out of the thing and then just backed it out. We went to ACE Hardware and matched up the bolts and got some new screws that would fit.

 

That's what the installation instructions say on the eBay page, but I wasn't sure if it applied to our TPS since NSXNEXT said it was held on with rivets. Neil, check again on the eBay page, there is a link for installation instructions. You have to line up the new TPS correctly based on the instructions.

 

Well, what my friend did was take a voltage meter and see what it was and you can sit there and turn the TPS and it adjusts the voltage as you turn it and get it where it needs to be. You do this while it is screwed in pretty tight and when you get it to where it needs to be, you tighten it down the rest of the way.

EDIT: sorry if that doesn't really make sense.. I'll explain more later but I was doing that fast as I'm about to head to class.

 

That's exactly what the instructions say to do

Yeah I saw the directions after I posted this. Looks like it's pretty easy to do. Funny but based on my reading it sounds like some of my mileage issues may be related to a bad TPS.
