Yeah, I have done that notch and unscrew thing with the TPS. No big deal.

well maybe I should ask what you all think the problem is. the car runs fine, but at highway speed it will start to shake very bad, only when accelerating. as soon as you let off the gas it stops shaking. It's been to three shops, and only the 3rd was able to tell anything wrong with the car. they said the TPS was "only 80%", not sure what that means, but they couldn't find anything else wrong. my first thought was motor mount, but they are all fine. They said $1000 to replace the TB with a new honda part, which was dumb as it can't take more than 15 minutes to do.

Forty04, where are you located? might be interested, but pretty sure i found one locally. thanks for the offer.

oh and it is a 97 MT LX. Thanks all.

Jesus, I'm in the wrong freaking business. I'd love for some dumb ******* to pay me a grand to swap at Throttle Body

I'm on the West Side of Michigan.
