Default TPS Sensor

O.k. I have a 2000 Honda Civic Ex with a D16Y8 motor. I put a skunk2 IM on and a skunk2 68mm TB on about 6 months ago. Well I'm now having problems with it and I was told thats it's my Throttle Position Senors. I checked around and the only way to get one is by buying the whole throttle body which is around $300. I was wondering if anyone else had or has this problem. And if they do or don't make a aftermarket TPS for the aftermarket TB. If they do please let me know. Thanks in Advance.

go to a junkyard and get a old throttle body from any 92-00 honda, what ever is cheapest and take the tps from it, what makes you think that is what is wrong?

I took it to 3 different garages and had them hook the computer up to my car and all 3 garages said that the computer read the TPS is bad.

just replace the sensor with a new one for cheap. And forget about spending 300 bucks on a whole new throttle body.

Do not forget to calibrate the TPS when you get it

Also to remove the old one use a dremel to cut a slit in the "rivets" (they aren't rivest just broken off bolts) and you can use a flat blade screwdriver to get the old TPS off.
