    Angry throttle position sensor HELP!

    My check engine light came on, so i checked the engine code, it comes up as code 7, and for a 92 accord its the throttle position sensor (tps). Any one have an idea what could be causing the problem with it? Any help would be appreciated!

    That happened with my car a few weeks ago.

    Check the TPS sensor itself - the problem with mine was that the wiring harness was loose.

    A tps code can set for a variety of reasons if you want to throw parts at it go ahead or maybe get some info and trouble shoot that code follow the trouble trees. Don't waste your money. I have seen people replace tps sensors when they had a vaccuum hose broken.
