OT: Honda TPS: anyone have a supplier?

[Jay Lee]

Honda TPS are sold with the throttle body only, I'm looking for one for a 91 Civic 1.5... Dealer wants $700 for the entire assembly. Does anyone know of a place where I can buy just the TPS? I would rather not have to deal with a questionable part from a salvage yard...

I had the same problem - I looked for the least expensive TB I could find on EBAY of all places, and got lucky it not only had a good TPS but a good MAP sensor ... just a thought ...

I am not aware of any sources that can supply a TPS sensor only...
If you find one, please let me know.

Ditto. My TPS is fubar, and I'd like to replace it without buying an entire TB.

Thanks for your replies...

I ended up buying a used one from a salvage yard. It seems that only US models have the anti-tamper screws, so those junkyards that can get non-USDM cars can get those TPS, although still used; maybe someone living out of the US may be able to shed a little light...

I sent a PM on another board to my honda mechanic about this, I'll post up his reply when I get one.

Okay, my mechanic said:
"you can remove the anti tamper screws but as far as I know there isnt an aftermarket company that sells TPS units seperatly.
Honda only sells them as a TB unit. Once you do remove teh screws it takes some computer knowhow to reset the base TPS position to give the right voltage to the ECm so it has a correct closed throttle reference."

Guess you guys have to buy the whole damn thing eh?
