well the honda i just bought needed tps and intake temp sensor so i replaced em i had both laying around. adjusted the tps till the car ran fine. put a multimeter on the tps it reads 4.5 closed and .6 wot which is oppisite of what its supposed to be. and every once in a while when i floor it at 4k it cuts out.

90 civic zc non vtec swap obd0

i used a tps out of a z6

how the fuck could i do that, idiot its got a lil thing it fits into only on one side of the rotor. also
that would not make it do that it shit should increase in voltage as i open the throttle even if it was possible to mount it upside down.

only way it would do that (as far as mounting it wrong) would be backwards if it was psooible to mount it that way
actually respond to this dont just not respond if you know you were wrong and got called out on it.

Verify the TPS wiring. Some 88-91's have 2 wires at the sensor that have to be swapped.

Here is the link I'm taking the following from: http://hondaswap.com/swap-articles/dpfi ... eup-49557/

And here is the symptom if you have the wires set up like a dual point still:

Quote- Also, you'll have to switch the two wires on the TPS because the TPS on the new intake works in the opposite direction. If you dont switch them, the ECU will think that the engine is at Wide open throttle when its actually at idle.

SWITCHING THE WIRES AT THE TPS:
This pretty much explains itself, just switch the two outside wires(green/white and yellow/white) around at the TPS and then you're done this step. I used the TPS connector off the Si harness, just so that I could just match up all the wires, since the wires are already reversed on it. -end quote.

Hope this gets you up and going! Good chance the car has been like this forever.

Just let me know if that gets you up and going! It's literally a 2 minute fix. Unplug TPS, pull out the little white locker from the open side, pull the 2 pins (disengage them with a pin or pick) and snap them back where they go. Put white locker back in and plug it in.

did this
started surging bt 1 and 2 and everytime i pushed the gas it died so i put it back the way it was

on a lighter note found a huge vaccum leak looked at my z6 mani and there was a plug that went i this hole put it in and idles a lil better and stoped cutting out
