TPS Sensor I’m using – https://amzn.to/2JJM4qm
Inexpensive Multimeter – https://amzn.to/2JIHKaN
Pretty simple walk through on how to test and properly adjust the TPS. This will work on many Honda and Acura engines from the D, B, and H series engines. I adjusted this in my 1990 Honda Civic EF hatchback with a b20b engine swap and a 90-93 Acura Integra intake manifold and throttle body.
If you are getting a code 7 on your ECU, this relates to a problem with the TPS.

PLEASE DELETE THIS VIDEO…. you will never adjust or touch the TPS sensor. Japanese engineers have this set DUMMY! That's why those bolts are not screwable.
I was looking for this video recently, and here it is…thanks a lot man. Really appreciate it…
Got an engine with no tb so i found a stock ex one in my parts bin. I kept getting 0.01 to 3.2v on my tps. Off the car it was correct- took forever to figure out it was the throttle body itself! The return spring has worn and is no longer tight enough to maintain the correct voltages. I wish this spring was replaceable but its not. Nobody makes a stock 60mm tb anymore except whats left at Honda stores for $350. Junkyard parts will probably fair no better. The smallest cheapo tb is 68mm! Ecu will not like that or will it??
@Garage Built Hondas – I know you don't check your emails often, but I emailed you some info that could not go into a comment here. 🙂
Great video! If you want to be able to adjust your TPS without having to be connected to the car, check out the powered tool at TPSTool.com. It powers up the TPS and has a built in volt meter and just makes the job easier. They come with a generic adapter (3 individual connectors) that you can use on any 3-pin TPS.
I get you confused with Honda street garage
0.50V IDLE – 4.50Volts WOT. 5V Supply
All B/D Series 3-Pin TPS set procedure.
Apply +/- voltage to two wires, read voltage from 3rd wire. KOEO. Adjust TPS as needed.
Jon i just put a skunk2 alpha 70mm tb and a skunk2 pro intake on my b20b swapped crx after taking the tps and putting it on the new tb no matter how a turn the tps it wont go above .15v closed and 3.28 at WOT. ive also tried another tps and same thing the previous owner did the swap and the harness conversion im just stumped though because it was running fine till i swapped everything
Hello I just install my TPS was wondering I have it adjusted to.
.49v but when I open my throttle it read 4.17 any thoughts? Awesome video tho.
91 Honda Accord ex f22a4 I replaced mine tps sensor I got 4.5 v close open 0.5 v what am I doing wrong need help
Does anyone have a vid for throttle position senor on the hybrid Honda?
Need help first time doing this but I have a 92 civic vx hatchback the throttle body is much smaller I bought an ek arm intake which is alot more wide open then the eg one can I just swap out the ek throttle body to my eg which they just bolt right on ?
I made the mistake of adjusting my cable thinking it would help before addressing the IAC sensor. Thank goodness for you and this vid my dude
Awesome video! Also, how would I do this without your special tool?
Hey man i just fixed my civic 91 change gas pump and head gasket but when I accelerate just a little at low revs the car drowns out a lil & if I accelerate hard works well do you think I have to adjust the throttle body?
What happens when you get insane voltage on both open and closed?
Hi thanks for the video. I have a 02 Acura tl type s with the main and sub throttles. I did a cleaning of both and removed the tps on the sub throttle, not knowing what it was, to clean. Once i saw it was not something I needed to clean i screwed it back on. I then got a 94-1 and vsa and traction control light with high idle. I also got a p0505 code, which was corrected with replacing the iacv. The acura dealership states i still have the tsc light on which they said can only be the valve or a short. Im pretty certain its not a short or problem with the wiring as i did the work myself. Could it be that i need to adjust it as you do in the video. My autel scanner has the sub throttle idling very high with the live data. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
set TPS honda jazz 2007 L15A
Dud this helped me alot thanx for the awso.e content
Can i just jam the multimeter leads into the tps sensor plug? Will this work on a d15b7?
nost honda "mechanics" are dumbshitd who know nothing about hondas and claim to be honda mechanics for such and such however long. They would never do this.
I have a 93 integra ls, which is the same manifold and throttle body on your car, will my tps readings need to be the same as yours are? Planning on installing a new intake manifold, throttle body and tps this weekend and want to make sure before I do it.
Hey man i have code 4 on my 1991 civic DX D15b2 were is the crank position sensor located
do u have a video showing the actual install of a new one ?
I have a 1991 civic dx when it gets hot it doesnt acelerate the engine just shakes then check engine light comes out
What are those bits at the end of that harness you made up called ? I'd like to buy some to make a harness like this. The parts that are pushed into the original parts. The ones after the alligator clips
What happens if I dont adjust the TPS?
Thanks for the video! I replaced the oem tps because it had a dead spot. I replaced it with a known good oem but I cannot get it to adjust spot on. To get wot to 4.50 I have to adjust closed to .70. If I adjust closed to .50 then 4.30 at wot is my best. I split the difference and left it at .61 closed and 4.43 wot. Should I shoot for the best closed reading or the best wot reading? Or is splitting the difference ok?
I have a 1991 civic lx dpi we're do I buy a tps replacement I have order the wrong one every thing is pointing to a new throttle body.
Does anybody in the group have a 1999 Acura CL 2.3 or similar? Wanted to see how your car ran after you put in the new Throttle body position sensor.
