well my PGM-FI light is on and i checked the ecu lights and its the last 3 of the 4 lights are lit. I checked it out and its telling me poor throttle/engine response. Check Throttle angle sensor. now im pretty sure it needs replacement BUT the dealer told me there is no part number on it and the only way to get it is to buy the entire TB. TB runs 500 bucks at the dealer. non the less i aint getting a new one no matter what the cost is. i checked with 2 other dealers and they told me the same thing.

Now has anyone had this problem before? Im thinking i can go to a junkyard and pull one cause it bolts on and off the TB. Does anyone have a spare i can buy from them?

Hey man,
I know that sucks trying to find a TPS. I tried Autozone, Advance , and napa and no luck. I found a brand new tb for $487 and that is absolute nuts.The only thing i can suggest is see if someone here is parting out a crx/3g and get it from them, or the junk yard. Or you can fab up an adapter and try the integra TB. some guys have done it here.

Happy hunting!!
Aoccdring to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtsy,it deosn't mttar in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are. The olny imprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the right pclae. The rset can be a ttoal mses and you can slitl raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe
