Tommarow I will be removing my tps sensor which is rivited on the tb. Is there anyway that is fairly easy to do this job without removing tb. I don't have the gasket for the tb and need to know if job can be easly accomplished

No and it is not a rivet, it is a screw with the head removed. Easiest way I found was a fine tooth saw or dremel and put a slice so you can use a screw driver to remove it. You will then need to set the voltage correctly when you instal the new one. And you need to remove the throttle body. -
Here is a quick DIY on how to remove those pesky no head screws, aka shear bolts, from your TPS.
Before removing the bolts from the TPS make sure to mark it's position with a permanent marker or scratch a line from the TPS mount to the throttle body to ensure that it will go back in the same place as it was set from the factory. May save a TPS adjustment headache in the long run
First grind of the little nipple that sticks out of the top of the "rivet" screw. This will allow you to have a flat surface to cut into.
This is the nipple that you want to get rid of.
Second with a hack saw or dremel cutting wheel you want to cut a line in the head of the rivet. Like so....
Cut the line as close to the TPS mounting surface as you can. This will allow for more contact surface for your flat head screwdriver. Also insure that you cut it wide enough to fit a decent sized flat head....
Once you have it cut deep enough insert the flathead screwdriver and turn counter clockwise.
Voila.....
It only takes a matter of minutes to do this.
Cheers and good luckComment

Thanks everyone going to the shop in a few and am glad I asked about this tps before I started lol. Know when I get it in what is easier to adjust it a multi meter and which wire the signal or 5v referenceComment

How do I set tps after installed
Looking to no which wire I use to adjust the tps after I install. The reference or signal wire thanksComment

What are the three wire colours?.... It's been a while since I worked on an older Accord TPS.
From what I remember they are as follows;
YEL/WHT = (+) 5v Sensor Power
RED/BLK = Sensor Signal
GRN/WHT = (-) Sensor Ground
To calibrate your sensor you measure the voltage between the sensor signal wire, RED/BLK (center), & chassis ground.Comment
