ahh that aint my symptoms :(

no eml light on mine, but the engine kind of pulses on idle :S

Engine managment ligt came on, check fault codes and it said

Engine running lean
Idle air control valve
Throttle position sensor
Vehicle speed sensor

It didn't idle well and drove abit flat. Sometimes it idled at 2500rpm lol!

thanx, bout time someone did a guide to this :D

just out of curiosity, what was your car doing before replacing these sensors?

Yes, acording to EPC the throttle body bolts are torx head. Mine are 13mm bolt head....

my engine has had alot of owners :(

them fixings look different to mine bud, almost looks like on mine that theres 4 nuts fixed to the plastic inlet then the bolts go from the backside of the tb into the plastic inlet.
weird:boggle:
as my engine is the c16xe the same as yours

To remove the ICA or TPS i would take the throttle body out. Saves you busting your knuckes trying to get into little spaces. The 4 bolts that hold the throttle body to the bracket & top inlet are removed from the front. See the photo of my ignition coil....you can see one of the throttle body bolts is half out.

when you undo the top inlet, where it connects to the tb bracket do u undo it from the back of the tb or the front?
as i tryed to remove my icv (with the tb still attached) but had no joy as i couldnt get to 1 of the torx bolts.

well if you saw the shit that goes into my catch tank you would never connect your breather pipe into your inlet ever again, such a shit design.

Thankyou Dave, i might do that

getting problems with oil getting into the inlet :(

worth noting that is is also very worthwhile to block off the breather pipe on the black plastic tube round the back of the engine and vent that pipe to atmosphere or a catch tank, saves the tb and icv getting gunked up again ;)

good tutorial, makes it look far easuer than it sometimes is!

U2U Ian to get this in the tutorial section :cool:
