To calibrate: install, connect, turn key on, use voltmeter to test voltage on red and yellow wire- safety pins pushed into wire. With throttle body closed, .5 volts; throttle body open, 4.5. This is on a 94 civic lx 1.5
I did a b18 engine swap on my 96 civic. The engine is the same 96 obd2a as the car. So I would imagine the tps sensor plug would fit am I right? Thing is I can't find the plug anywhere. 🤔🔌
I just switched my tps and my water temp goes higher than usual I have an electronic gauge and it used to still at 60 no it goes higher to 88 or so is it because of the sensor was bad and now it's good or? I need help thanks !
My 1990 civic crx si w/349,000 just this morning threw this CEL code. Original B16 was swapped with a D16. Hopefully a snapped out plug & nothing bigger. Is the TPS located on the 1990 similarly ( I don't have vtech hooked up as 1990 is still OBD0 Any & all considerate feedback on what to do is MUCH appreciated!!! Step by step is good. All worked great on Saturday, but Sunday it showed the CEL about 1/2 way to work. * I'll try resetting ECU first * then looking for loose / broken wire(s)] * tighten throttle cable to remove small amount slack from wear & tear.
Put multi meter in and look up specs for voltage output at idle while turning the assembly prior to locking bolts down. Slide jumpers through rubber to make contact, get proper voltage output, lockdown bolts, then good. Nice technique on the locking bolts though.
Hey 1159, can u give a hint with the f150 back up light switch location? Cause I check the fuses an bulbs an they are ok, so I really don't know if is a relay or switch, is a f150 02 hurlay, I'll appreciated your help!!
If the TPS was bad or going out wouldn't it come up in the Codes? The only thing I am having problems with is surging only when the car warms up. When I first start it, it's super smooth for over 6 minutes or more and usually I have to actually drive it before it starts to surge when I come to a stop... when I turn on head lights it stops! I was told it could be the TPS sensor. 95 Del Sol. P.s. it's super strong and I have everything tuned in. It has immediate response, drives great, full power etc... just the surging now... ugh!
On the bottom of the throttlebody is a small circular cover plate held with 3 or 4 phillips head screws. Remove that and you will find a large plastic looking nut. Back it off and clean the threads and apply a small drop of red loctite and snug it back up. Reassemble and enjoy normal idle.
i did this and my car is at 2500 rpm idle after warming up lol My only check engine light was the tps sensor so idk what else to do i dont know how to calibrate it if thats what it needs lol
The most important part was not covered how do you put the tps on the throttle body, do you put the middle guide of the tps inbetween the two clamp looking things on the throttle body..
how do you this is bad? my civic jumps idle from 1k to 2 k only when at a dead stop. I unhooked the tps and it idles great now which puzzles me. is the tps bad or is it something else? thanks
I did clean it my friend told me there is a screw inside that dome thing under the throttle body that comes lose he was saying tighten it and it would stop doing that as well. I tried cleaning that it's on the back side of the intake manifold right? I'm not throwing any cel
my car goes from 1000 rpms to 3 thousand rpms at start and even after warm up- would it be the iac or thr tps? ive cleaned the iac (the best i could) but with no luck- 97 honda civic ex single overhead cam 1.6 lit.
Bradley Pike im having the same issue. it stays idled up until I'm at a complete stop at stoplight. sometimes even then. I replaced my iac. now I'm looking to replace the tps
Kyle Farrell i cleaned the iac valve thorougly and had o such luck. i eventually went to a your pull it junkyard for around $30 and pulled the iac valve from another car... i switched the two and that was the end of my problem...
Dude u cant just put that thing on and not calibrate it wtf kind of mechanic are u? Whats the name of the shop u work at so i can make sure i never take my car there
I see customers use these crappy aftermarket adjustable tps sensors all the time then the car comes in to me because they cant be calibrated. just this week had a 03 accord come in with sensor bad and car wouldn't come out of park. so he goes and buys this crap online because you cant find one locally because to do the job properly you should replace the throttle body and nobody sells just the sensor. well it didn't fix his problem so I now have the car and find he didn't calibrate it because most diy think its just a install part. so I go to calibrate and cant. clean out the throttle body and still cant. cable adjustment is ok. turns out the adjustment slot isn't enough to calibrate the piece of crap. so I have to pull it off after discussing with the customer and grind out the slot. do yourself a favor and do the job right and replace the throttle body.
Your doing something wrong or something else is wrong because this has worked flawless and it was bought at a parts store here in town. I've done a k24 tps and had no problems either.
Cody the Car Guy If you don't mind me asking is the parts store a big chain because all my customer say they cant get them at the parts store they have to order them on line. Like I said I don't buy them or install them. Customers do that then bring them to me because they don't work properly. I will install a throttle body only because I have seen my customers have such bad luck with them. The 03 accord I just did just to get the customer going got it online for $10.00 but like I said I had to grind the slots in it to get it with in range. He still came out ahead cheaper than buying a throttle body even after charging my labor but you shouldn't have to do that to a new part. Then again it was $10,00
i just went to my local junkyard and got 1 off a civic my acura tl runs great now and it was only 20 bucks and could of easily been free if i took a hacksaw and flathead with me i had to buy the whole throttle body cause i didnt have a hack saw blade with me. the civic and acura tb aren't the same but the throttle postion sensor are the same. and if it goes out i can just unscrew it now no big deal. why change more parts than you have to?

DC voltage or Oms?

Can this give the car a bad idle?

reverse light switch is usually on the transmission

Exactly what mine is doing did you figure it out?

Air idle control valve
@@jeffreybecker4621
It is call Fast Idle Thermo Valve (FITV).
no TPS adjustment? mine is adjustable
No calibration? You found a rare tps sensor. Everyone elses needs to be calibrated.
I have the same but my gasket is ripped where the. screw goes in at the bottom could that be a problem to make my idle fluctuate??
Yes that causes a vaccum leak
i did this and my car is at 2500 rpm idle after warming up lol My only check engine light was the tps sensor so idk what else to do i dont know how to calibrate it if thats what it needs lol
No calibration?
Calibration?
What about calibration of the TPS ding-dong?
Thats what i was about to comment
I like yor ratchet what model & brand is it?
The most important part was not covered how do you put the tps on the throttle body, do you put the middle guide of the tps inbetween the two clamp looking things on the throttle body..
Great video!
Will the throttle position sensor make your car accelerate slower if it was bad
Yes it can but you need to see what codes you have too
How do you see the codes for a 94
Thats to old right
You jump the pins with a paper clip and count the check engine light blinks
You not test the tps after setup how do you know it reads 0.50 -> 4.50
I think so.
If he did he didn’t do on video. You gots test that with the multi meter cause the screw hole on the tps are slot and can be adjusted.

Hola , q medida de tornillo es el nuevo ?
Thought u would have to collaborate it.
nice angle...
how do you this is bad? my civic jumps idle from 1k to 2 k only when at a dead stop. I unhooked the tps and it idles great now which puzzles me. is the tps bad or is it something else? thanks
Try cleaning the Idle air control valve also. Also known as a iacv.
I did clean it my friend told me there is a screw inside that dome thing under the throttle body that comes lose he was saying tighten it and it would stop doing that as well. I tried cleaning that it's on the back side of the intake manifold right? I'm not throwing any cel

I don't see the CALIBRATION
nice view of your had to show what you are supposed to do......
Right
you only showed how it is removed and how it is put but you forgot to calibrate it and how
Dude u cant just put that thing on and not calibrate it wtf kind of mechanic are u? Whats the name of the shop u work at so i can make sure i never take my car there
Do you have to calibrate it even if your just changing the gasket
@@javierchavez7167 yes if u take off sensor it needs to be re calibrated
@@jesseslussar9621 I saw one for sale that was already calibrated I think that’s the same one he has
v y good
Ya this isn’t working for me yours must have under 100k on the sensor I’m at 307,458k miles

Last ones we used either came from advance or orielys and its been working perfect ever since and yeah some stuff from like ebay can be like you said
Cody the Car Guy Thanks for the info we have both stores locally. Cant understand why they are getting them on line.
i just went to my local junkyard and got 1 off a civic my acura tl runs great now and it was only 20 bucks and could of easily been free if i took a hacksaw and flathead with me i had to buy the whole throttle body cause i didnt have a hack saw blade with me. the civic and acura tb aren't the same but the throttle postion sensor are the same. and if it goes out i can just unscrew it now no big deal. why change more parts than you have to?

U can't see shit ur hand is in the way
wtf this didn't help at all. thanks
Ur hand blocks the view 🤦♂️
