[xixtony]

hey sup guys i just bought my b16 and the tps sensor was broken so i took the tps sensor from the old intake manifold that i had. I took the sensor off the new motor and replaced it with this old one. Now once in a while not all the times this just happends out of no where im at a stop light and i step on the throtle to take off normal and once the rpm hits 3k rpm the rpm just drops to 1k then back to 3k and so on and so on it looks like i dont know how to drive stick lol this only happends when u hold the throttle steady if im not on the gas pedal or if im florring it this problem happends me and the friends think its the tps sensor what do u guys think??? and if it is how can i adjust it??? thanks for yur help

Did you ever adjust your TPS sensor? It doesn't just bolt in; the screw holes are actually slots so there is a little bit of adjustment. To adjust it, simply hook a good voltmeter up to it: the positive terminal goes to the middle wire (I think it is red) and the negative goes to a ground somewhere. Just adjust it until it reads 0.5 volts at warm idle. I've acually heard a couple of different voltages to try, but 0.5 seems to work for me.

The symptoms you write about definately indicate the TPS is out of wack.
