I asked my honda dealer to tell me how much to buy the part, they told me it's built into the throttle body and not a seperate part. Needless to say the throttle body is a very expensive part.

yep but it can be separated, i just think i should pick up the throttle body then they go for about 60 cdn at tha junkyard............hopefully they finally got one with a good TPS

sometimes, the TPS only needs adjustment... it's a little dumb to sell it as a whole. Honestly they're just ripping people

Yeah its built in. If you drill out the rivets holding it on you can take it off. After that you would need to tap the tb and use bolts to hold it on where the stock rivets were.

Hope that helps. If your actually going to do that I would recommend taking it to a machine shop.

The 86-87 are different. They have plastic caps on them which you take off with pliers or a vise grip. Underneath are some bolts (8mm??) which you can take off. Make sure you check the position of the TPS in relation to the TB housing (there should be a line on both parts). Make sure when you put the new one in, the thing sticking out of the TPS is inside the coil of the TB. You will know what I mean when you take it apart.

So, When saw the thread subject I thought "TPS Report" from the movie Office Space. Not that it matters any i just found it ammusing.
