Error code #7 Help?

By 93'CivicEX
- Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:15 pm #260135 So, I am new to this forum, tried searching but didn't find anything. I know code 7 is TPS. But mine is new, And since there is no way to adjust it on these motors (d16z6) I was wondering what could be causing this code? Is there a common electrical problem that could create this? Any help would be great. Thanks!

their rivet screws, and honda wantsyou to replace the whole throttle body
instead of the tps its self

and if u have a digtal mutimeter
you can adjust em

turn the key to koeo(key on engine off)
and with the throttle close probe the wires it should rear .5volts
and at wot(wide open trottle) it should 4.5volts

so u can adjust em that way

hope it helps

I didnt think about the gasket, I will check it out today. And as for rivets.. Mine is screws I think someone converted it. The only other thing I was thinking was maybe its for a d15.. Any thoughts? Or are they the same unit?
