No prob. I ran into a tps issue myself not too long ago. Mine was smashed and i wasnt sure how to remove it nor did i know where to get one from.

I thank Steve at HMO for giving me the advice i gave you.

 

How do you set the voltage? And I'll take that tps for $10

 

Ok. I know how to do it on the jdm h22a in an eg but ive never done it in an ef. So the pinouts may differ; again, im not sure.

At the ecu, you are going to be measuring voltage (assuming you have a multimeter; need one for this ) across d11 and d22. At full close throttle the voltage should be .5 volts. At wide open throttle (WOT) it should be 4.5. The increase should be a smooth transition from .5 to 4.5. So basically this is a 2 man job. One guy reading the voltage at the ecu and the other turning the tps to the correct setting and also opening and closing the throttle.

Now, when i put mine on i ran into a problem. I removed my old one and then put the new one on just by attaching it the way it seemed to go on easiest. At close throttle i read 0 volts and at wide open i was reading like .6. Obviously a problem there. The solution was, the tps had to actually be turned a quarter turn clockwise and then seated, at which point i was able to adjust it to get a good .5 reading and was able to turn it left and right to increase and lower the closed throttle voltage reading, then tighten.

So keep that in mind. If your voltage reading is too low at closed, then you need to turn the tps and then seat it, it will almost seem like you are putting it in upside down. Its kind of hard to explain typing. Also keep in mind, the TP sensor is a potentiometer (a variable resistor). It is connected to the throttle valve shaft. As the throttle position changes, the TP sensor varies the voltage signal to the ECM.

Having said that, yes you could probabley monitor the voltage from the plug on the tp sensor as well. I couldnt do it this way due to space constraints. Also, keeping the wires speared with the leads on the multimeter while at the same time adjusting the sensor might prove to be more of a hassle. HTH!
