My accord threw a 7 flash PGM-FI code yesterday. After a bit of searching I can't seem to find a replacement sensor. There has to be another Honda with a sensor that would work?

There was a discussion about using another type on here but I dont remember what happened to it.

Check the connector to it and if you have a meter meter it out the out like the books says. It might be ok and a wire just broke off. From memory there all 0-5 volts so .5 volts is idle and 4.5 VDC is wide open throttle WOT. There is a resistance measurement as well.

I've read up about testing the current one but have yet to give it a try. I'm sure it's a question that's been asked before. I'll keep searching around.

Electrically, probably any TPS will work. It is simply a voltage divider circuit, so the min max will always be 0v-input voltage.

Nothing different on the inside, most of the difference would be the mounting holes
