Does anyone know how to removeand install the TPS on a 90 integra ls? My car is idling and I want to buy a tps on ebay instaed of buying an entire throttle body. The tps is riveted on so I don't know how to get it off.

You said your car is idling, is that a bad thing? j/k
What is wrong with the car and how do you know it is the TPS sensor?
The TPS sensor is not removable and you need to make sure that it is bad before deciding to replace it.

It is looping and I know that it is bad because when i unplug it the car idles fine just too high plus it hesitates sometimes when it's cold.

Well im not sure if its the same on a b series engine but on my d16a6 when i changed my TPS, they werent rivets i just shaved off the tops, they were screws... took it off switched it, buoght new screws and adjusted it with a volt meter..............

Ofcourse u can remove the TPS sensor. just remove the throttle body, get a dremel tool or even a hack saw and make a slot on the head of the rivets. now u can get a flat head screw driver in it and unscrew it. then when u install the new TPS sensor back in, u can reuse the screws/rivets that u just made a slot in.

Boosted k20 is got it right.I just went threw the same thing with my 92 ls and turns out it was the fast idle valve under the tb.If the tps dosent fix it I would look there next.

But where do you get the replacement TPS? Honda nor acura sell the TPS by its self.

u can always search ebay for used ones. how come they dont sell just the tps sensors alone at honda/acura?
