Default Re: throttle position sensor 1990 Civic - junkyard part?

Hi all,

Thanks for the responses. Yes, it is a code 7. I read elsewhere on the
group that this code is generally reliable.

The problem has been over the last couple months, with the code set
last week. I presume this would explain the bogging, dropping revs and
seeming to konk out. It especially happens (when it does) when I'm at
whatever speed I want, and then let off the gas. The problem is
intermittent but does seem to be getting generally worse.

I guess I'll tackle this next weekend then. Should I expect weird
failures like this going forward?

THanks,
Derek
