They are actually not rivets, they are bolts with the heads cut off/flattened. You will have to drill out or grind off the tops to get the tps off then take vice grips and unscrew the rest of the bolt. You have to be careful, if the bolts break when you are trying to turn them out you will have to drill them out the rest of the way then make new threads with a kit from the auto store. Or you can use a tap and die set like I did. You also have to calibrate it. I didnt calibrate mine though; I just turned it until the car shifted smoothly. You have to look in the 5th gen service manual to find out how to calibrate it. I get much better gas mileage with the new tps as well. Dont forget the throttle body gasket. You can find screws that will fit at the hardware store, they are size M5x0.8
edit-I also dont think the tps is the reason why your car doesnt start. Mine ran fine without my tps even connected. edit #2- that second link is also very helpful

i got a 4g. and also how do i get rid of code 36??

fix what you know is wrong first.
You need a multimeter to make sure the voltage is correct at closed and WOT. You can also test continuity to make sure there are no shorts in the harness. take the red lead and backprobe the connector into the middle pin with it connected to the throttle. Touch the black lead to a body ground and test the voltage at fully closed and fully open. you should get ~.5 volts at closed and and ~4.5v at WOT. You can buy used throttle bodies much cheaper than replacing the sensor. www.omniman.com sells TPS sensors separately. |

^ what he said
![]() yea if you can find a throttle body on ebay with a tps go for that, its a PITA to change the tps there is no code 36...maybe you have 3 and 6? your talking about the orange cel right?

hojemwod i agree sure my cars throwing a tps code and you clear it out it comes back. Who cares i think its the distibuter i fought one for $100 at a junkyard ill try it tommorow. The mechanic at honda says that the tps sends info to the computer to send spark im not buying that.

damn i got jacked for a $100 today and put the distibuter on and still no spark. Ill probually never fix the prob.

see if it starts with your tps disconnected..because then it would go to the backup settings..also maybe your not getting any gas..maybe your spark plugs are bad, maybe you got another bad distributor?
