My Wagon started Jerking?!

ladiesman917

Well today I was driving my wagon on the freeway doing 70 in 5th gear, just cruising back home. Then all of sudden my car just started jerking? like if I was going to stall or if it was gong to die, but I have no idea? So when I got home I was going to run a diagnoses, Thinking maybe it might be a electronic problem with wiring. But When i found the computer (under the carpet on the passenger side) All i could see was a red light flashing? And it flashed 7 times then paused, then another 7 times and so on and so on. Some sort of code? Can anybody help me?! Thanks much appreciated

There is A CEL code chart on here just search it out! good luck!

Code 7 is throttle positions sensor (TPS). It's the sensor on the back of your throttle body. Make sure your connection is good. If you still get the code after resetting the ecu (aka unplugging it) start with replacing the tps sensor (easier to replace the throttle body usually).

The 1st thing I'd do is have a good look at the connector. Look closely at the contacts. Make sure there is no corrosion or dirt in there. If it's clean and the issue is still there, you're probably looking at replacing the TPS sensor. I know OBX were selling replacement TPSs there for a little while. You can remove those "rivets" that hold it on. They're not actually rivets. They'e just tamper proof screws. All you need to do is grind a slot in the smooth head of the screw and use a regular slot screwdriver to unscrew it. I have done it with a hacksaw as well as a cut off disc in the Dremel in the past. The only issue will be adjusting the new TPS so it falls into the correct tolerance for the Honda ECU. You need the idle voltage to be right at or very near 0.5 volts (+/- 0.02v).

But like stampern said, if you can find a good TB for not too much money, that might be the easier route.
