<snip astonishing tale of incompetence>




They certainly would "give it straight" more cheaply than you did buying
three throttle bodies.

Sorry to say, but you are out of your element here. You have done
everything as wrongly as you could possibly have done, and showed the worst
possible judgement you could have.

If you do not possess a multimeter (or even know what one is), then you are
not qualified to tackle diagnosis or repair of this problem.

And if your mechanic did all this work without disconnecting the battery
negative cable, then he is STUPID and INCOMPETENT. He has likely damaged
other things with his butchery.

To check the TPS is simplicity itself. You backprobe the three wires one by
one and make sure you get a steady +5V and one, almost nothing at the
second, and a smoothly variable voltage from about .3V to about 4.5V at the
third. If you get these results, the TPS is FINE and you need to look
elsewhere for the source of the problem.

P0122 has nothing to do with the transmission. AZ's text descriptions are
usually wrong.

You have NO idea if the battery is fully charged unless you use a
multimeter and the correct checking procedure. 12V is NOT "fully charged".

Take this thing to the dealer, and be prepared for being scolded (and
impoverished) for having damaged lots of other stuff in your misguided
attempts at uninformed repair.

Finally, jim beam has some good advice to offer here. If this is your first
time in this group and you are cavalier enough to insult him, that's your
loss. When you're new, you should act politely until you know what's going
on.

Yeah, maybe I was alittle testy, but individuals come to the site to
display their concerns whether skilled/unskilled & do not expect
talented people to mistreat them on basic info. that is being sketched-
out & attainable/already posted.

"and you are cavalier enough to insult him" door swings bothways. (I
realize he is not interested in my advice)

Facts are seems as JB does have some skillsets..(just ckd momentarily,
don't know if it is all bike related, but it does seem from the
profile,that there is abundance of talent there?/) constructive info.
from this individual might have been helpful,but....


The $ was not that much online, the fact that they were used parts, is
the problem. The mechanic, which is very skilled, has acted
erroneously by not disconnecting the neg. batt.-not sure of his
thinking, but not thinking it was a major issue w/ other electrical
components is my best guess? why?? don't know? i'll ask. Hope that
does not burn me.

"but you are out of your element here".Yes this is a complex issue
for individuals that don't know where to look/have the skillset to
start the process..I agree w/ that statement.

"You have done everything as wrongly as you could possibly have done."
That I left the mechanical apptitude in the hands of someone I trust
concerning automotives, no I do not think that was wrong, but my honda
may suffer for it, possibly.

"showed the worst possible judgement you could have." By purchasing 3
throttle bodies, returning one for refund & still have two for the $
of one????..no.YES I should address other issues now. Worst judgement-
no thats why I came here. Statements concerning assistance on this
matter...I covered that...I agree

I will try aother & other mechanics/resistance measures/voltage.

You sure don't. Why don't you try just quietly lurking here for a while
to find out who knows what. THEN spout off.






Nobody here has a "profile", except those who see these messages through
their Web browser and think it's a message board.






....but you were too quick on the draw, and not at all mindful of your
place as a newbie among the cognoscenti. Children should be seen and not
heard.




Grow a thicker skin while you're at it. How many times do you want to
cut off your nose to spite your face?

But is the OP a virgin? If he is not, the volcano gods will be angry and
will wreak havoc, taxes and municipal zoning laws upon the world.

OP has been given by me the very best advice I can give; I have not
withheld anything and have no more to offer. jim beam on the other hand,
does have more to offer, but has his nose out of joint on account of OP's
insubordination and has clammed up (note to self: clams do not have noses).

Now, how can we bring these two combatants together in a spirit of love and
reconciliation? Do we need to involve female elementary schoolteachers, or
can we do this on our own?
