Do you know of a replacement throttle position sensor for a Honda odyssey EX year 2000 or does the whole throttle body have to be replaced?
Just the sensor. I bought mine from eBay $60 (http://www.iapdirect.com)
We need a good write on procedure though... here's what I found...
There is a large misconception that Honda and Acura Throttle Position Sensors are "Riveted" in. This is false. Those "rivets" are actually screws with no head on them (They snap the head off at the factory on purpose). You can either use a flat headed screwdriver and hammer to remove them, or you can cut a slot into them with a dremmel and unscrew them with a flathead screwdriver.
THE HAMMER/SCREWDRIVER METHOD:Get a good flat-headed screw driver that has a good edge on it. You need the good edge to dig into the screw material. Place the screwdriver at an angle in the position shown:
Tap the end of the screw driver with a hammer. The screw will rotate counter clockwise and loosen. You should be able to finish unscrewing it with the pad of your thumb. This way is a pain.
THE DREMMEL METHOD:Cut a slot into the "rivet-screw" Use a steady hand and cut carefully. Cut deep enough into the screw so that you can get a standard screwdriver blade into the slot. Unscrew the critter.
RE-INSTALLING:You don't want to re-use those crappy "rivet-screws". A replacement should have screws with it. if not, go to the hardware/parts store and match the threads to a new, stainless metric bolt of the same size and length. If you have a Fast Idle Thermo Valve laying around, you can rob the screws from the cover plate, which is what I did.
Make sure the Plastic tab "A" fits into the slot "B" upon re-installation. When you initially install the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) It might be way-off.Just turn it counter-clockwise until the bolt holes line up.
Screw the bolts on finger-tight, plug it in, and whip out the multi-meter!
Start the car. With it Idling, Measure the voltage between the red and green wires. Adjust until the voltage reads .45V at idle. Use a multimeter to adjust it; 0.47v closed, 4.53v WOTTighten those screws/bolts down!
