Throttle position sensor

I removed this so I can clean the TB and the gasket broke :/ Where can I buy a new gasket? I tried Honda but they dont sell this gasket seperately

use instant gasket mate

What's one of those mate?

Ahh ok, this stuff good? Also I read that if the throttle position sensor is removed it needs to be re-calibrated?

when throttle is shut sensor should read 0.45, it should read 4.5 at wide open throttle

I don't mean to thread jack. But if there is no gasket, will the idle be higher?/fluctuate?

 

[Rich777]

Yes if it causes a vac leak

Bump. I've decided to just buy a new tps as it will come with a new gasket and I guess it won't hurt to have a new tps as i was having idle issues anyway. Just wondering if anyones used Blox or Omni ones before? Any good?

Why don't you just buy a small roll of oil resistance paper gasket and cut out the shape yourself?
I know I'm using a brand name Flexoid that's made in England. Bought a small roll of 1.5mm thickness and cut it out myself.

Well I was also thinking of buying a new tps as I was having idle issues. And I guess it wont hurt to fit a new one. Just want to know whether the blox or omni tps is as good as the oem one.
