Compatible TPS sensor for 1987 LXi?
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.

Interesting. 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.

I haven't taken one apart to see but this was also my prediction. Assuming they weren't different somehow mechanically by the way they connect to the actual throttle.

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