In this video I am going to be testing the throttle position sensor while still installed in the vehicle. I will also be removing the throttle body and replacing the sensor and then demonstrating how to reinstall everything.
There are many ways to "skin the cat" and these are the methods that I use. Any criticisms or alternate methods posted in the comments are welcome, just keep it civil.

This is the best-illustrated and most well-explained car maintenance video I've come across. You have a talent, sir!
Wow! Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video on the throttle body and TPS service. Honda will never sell the TPS alone. You will have to buy the whole entire throttle body!
Thank you! Honda considers the TPS "non-servicable" for some reason.
Is this still the case...?!
working on an 03' Pilot, this video had SO much useful information! Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Fantastic video! Clear, well-motivated, and paced!
Thank you!
Great video. I am working on a pilot with a hangup on the throttle about 10%. I needed to know how to get those screws out and i am going to use my dremel. Also great calbration tutorial. Thankyou for your video post.
I swapped the TPS on a 2000 civic and I get those fasteners out in that video. Good luck!
Sir, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this video it was so helpful God bless you..
Thank you for taking a moment to comment. I'm glad to hear you found it to be helpful.
I had to replace my TPS and Throttle Body TB. Your blog/Video was very helpful. Please continue with this great material.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for taking a moment to comment.
Great video, thanks for posting!
And thank you for taking the time to comment. Glad to know it was helpful!
Great instructional video, much hard work. I 'll let somebody do it for me.
Haha! Discretion is the better part of valor. Good luck!
you saved me ! great job ! thx fan for life !
Great video!
Thank you!
I was having this same problem, mine would idle high. I took off the tube and reached inside the throttle body, and found a piece of napkin wedged in the part that opens n closes. Simple fix. But I have no idea how it got in there
SUPER helpful! Thanks!
Thank you! Glad to know the video helped you out.
@@ktecgarage Helped out immensely! Spent 30 years in education. Your instruction was as good as it gets! Thanks again!
Amigo excelente video serias tan amble decirm3 que voltaje debe de tener cada cable de la valvula con la llave en on
I have the same problem with my accord and i can’t find the solution, i replaced many sensors but nothing
I can’t find a video on how and where to put back on the right side rear engine plugs/brackets etc
Ones on the string pump hose and another bracket that’s ushape I think.
Thanx
Hello sir plz ans me honda civic 97 tp sensor adjusment on scanor is -0.62 this is stock voltage ?
Hello my car honda civic 97 kindly plz tell me acurate tp sensor voltage -0.62 or 0.55 ?
Thank you for a very good clear and knowledgeable video. I have learned so much about my car and have become an amateur mechanic because of it. I now dislike Hondas haha
I'm very glad to hear that I inspired you! Lots of satisfaction when you can do your own repairs.
@@ktecgarage almost definitely. Just having a problem getting it calibrated because I don't have a multimeter and everywhere I go I can't use one or nobody has one or it's way out of my price range. Have any ideas?
To be honest, you probably won't notice a difference without the calibration so long as it's close. You can probably find multimeters for less than $20 at Harbor Freight or Walmart, but if it runs and drives fine, you will be OK.
Awesome!
Thank you!
Thank you.
Your very welcome
Good detailed video. Thanks! 🙏❤️
I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks.
Thank you so much for the informative video!! Even the little things like “with the key on” really helps remind a person!!
I have a question :
You spoke about if the levels are lower than .5 and 5 but what if they are higher? Does that change anything ? What would you do differently if anything? The one that is in there is off a different Honda, but was working great till yesterday then threw check engine code and she had to gimp it to me. Throttle pedal had been sticky for a bit and we meant to clean it and even had the cleaner here to do it but my husband passed away suddenly last month and we’ve been distracted :-(
Thank you so much for your time making this video and in advance for any info you offer :-)
I am very sorry for your loss.... Stay strong. I'm sure that's what your husband would have wanted.
As for the voltage, the sensor only gets 5v from the chassis, so it would not go above that. Under .5v would mean that the sensor needs to be rotated , as shown in the video. The .5v and 5v would be in a perfect world. It just needs to be close, and it should function fine.
If the pedal is sticky, be sure to lubricate the cables where they attach to the throttle body and where the cable goes back into the plastic tube where it is mounted to the intake.
Good luck!
@@ktecgarage I know you’re right and I sure am trying! Make sure to never take your wife for granted! I used to say don’t sweat the petty things and don’t let the sweaty things, but I didn’t follow those after … never mind, anyways it was reading .97 consistently and 6 when full throttle ? What would cause that ? The ECU? Or maybe bad tester ? It’s same as the one you had in the video ? :-/
Thank you again for your time and for making the video !!! It helped save a bunch of time and that is a much more treasured commodity these days! 🙏👍
Thanks!
Thank you!
im having problems with my accord as well
Can you let us know where you bought the throttle position sensor or maybe a link to it? Thanks for the video.
Sorry about that. It was from Autozone and Dorman makes it. 911-753. Get OEM if you can.
Thanks for info.
What happens if you don't calibrate it?
Thanks
Probably not too noticeable if you just bolt it on out of the box. I would guess worse gas mileage and fuel trims slightly off.
@@ktecgarage thanks iam about to do mine. Preciate
As if alittle colouring of dirt in the throttle body is really going to effect the sensors that much, are they really that sensitive to make the idle so rough or stall the engine?
A dirty throttle body is very noticible with a manual transmission. When the clutch is engaged, the engine falls to idle quickly and the throttle body will catch it at idle and stop there. When it is dirty, it is slower to catch the RPM and causes stalls. The blade is barely cracked open at idle and any dirt interferes. So yes, it is that sensitive.
Sorry...At 16:11 you tried to get the TPS to have 5.0V when the throttle is fully open. How did you get to near 5V without changing the calibration for the 0.5V when the throttle is not fully open? It seems that one would need to hold the throttle to fully opened position and adjust the TPS at the same time? Would that mess up the 0.5V calibration when the throttle is not fully open? Thanks.
It's seems to me that it's most important to get the reading right at wide open throttle. I don't know that you could get an aftermarket TPS to be perfectly 0 and 5v.
Thanks for the video. We replaced the tps and must have messed with something because the civic won't go into any gear now Any advice?
Year? Auto or manual transmission? If it's auto, can you move the gear selector?
@@ktecgarage 2000 auto
Cannot move gear selector.
@alfredobrown Do the rear brake lights work when you press the brake pedal? Also, check the back-up/reverse light fuse. On the under hood fusebox, check the fuse that is labeled "Stop" on top of the box.
Also, there is a slot above the PRNDL on the gear selector. Remove the plastic cover and insert a key into the slot and it will release the shifter until you get it figured out.
@@ktecgarage thank you. Will try that.
so this is not only for how much gas its getting its also for idle problems because i just changed my control valve and its doin the same thing
I suggest smoking the system for a vacuum leak if you haven't already. If you don't have the means, an autoshop could do it at their hour rate and then you could fix it yourself. Good luck!
What probe are you using to back test. I can’t fit anything I have in there on the pigtail
It is the type you use for breadboards when you build and test circuits. You could use a sewing needle as well.
many thanks have problem with honda civic 94 manual 1.5 engine... when i start cold weather car start breathing rpm up and down until car heat about 3 minute to 5 ... now suddenly change keep rpm up and down more than 10 minute even i drive ...yesterday have problem rpm goes down when i start the car turning on and shut off back if i push gas stay on when i remove my foot on gas its stop if i unplug the throttle position sensor the car running if i put back i have the same problem before after i drive 5 to 10 minutes have chck engine but now when i start the car coming check engine please any now car start and stop again help
That engine has a fast idle thermal valve and I'd bet that is your issue. The set up on the engine in this video is not the same. Search TH-cam for B15 fast idle thermal valve problem. Good luck!
Also make sure your coolant level is correct. Those engines are very sensitive to low coolant levels causing idle issues.
The ORIGINAL tps is riveted in. Anyone can take it off and put it on with two screws
how many turn the fix sas sir.. 1 and 1/4? reply sir ty..
Sorry, but I don't understand the question. Ask in Spanish.
What if the the TPS calbrate at 0.5 Volt at Close and open is at 4.30 Volt? What could be issue here when it is open?
Old or not an OEM part. Could just be the multimeter you used.
How did it run before and after
That video was a series in tracking down an idle issue. The TPS was wonky, but it didn't fix all of my issues.
I’m have a problem 98 Honda idles but when l increase rpm it dies ??? Any thoughts on that ?
First things that come to mind would be a vacuum leak or low fuel pressure. Unfortunately, Honda doesn't put service ports on the fuel rails, so it's difficult to test.
@@ktecgarage 3:05
@@ktecgarage in desperation l changed the fuel pump and filter but couldn’t get results !!
I’ve done every l could and still no luck !! Where should l look next ???? Thanks !!!
Can a TPS cause my problem???
Maybe. I do have a video that shows how to test the TPS with a volt meter. I would go looking for a vacuum leak if I were you. Leaks can cause all kinds of problems and the older the car, the more likely it has one somewhere.
A five point torx will take those bolts out or ts 15 torx I believe.
Not that one. The heads of the fastener on OEM are completely smooth. If it has a hex head, it's aftermarket.
Its not replaceable separately reason on newer models. It has rivets i like it is on 2004 Models with what i call 1st generation. Honda/Acura DBW systems. Guess you can call them that
They are replaceable. I demonstrate how to get the rivets out in the video. The aftermarket replacements have Allen head fasteners.
I just got on ok
sorry again i have over heat problem but still car should work ..
Bruh i put on the new one and the voltage is staying at 5
One of the wires will always read 5v. Make sure ur hooked up right. If you are connected right, you got a bad one.
@Ktec Garage i found out i had it connected to thr wrong one! I was to eger and skiped into the video to far. Thanks so much
Glad it worked out
Ok
Thanx
