Hi,

I'm having a problem with the Throttle Position Sensor on my car. and i was told that I need to change the Throttle Position Sensor on my car. Can i just change the sensor it self or i need to change the whole throttle body?

It is possible to replace the TP sensor by itself. You would have to go the aftermarket route though as Honda does not sell the part separately. You can find sensors on eBay. Replacing requires some mechanical skills and a multimeter. If you need any assistance let me know and I can guide you through.
