A good start would be to determine if the TPS outputs (both of them) are the same between the K20 and J37 throttle bodies, measure the throttle plate open / closed positions and see if the DC motor characteristics are the same. That would tell us if the throttle bodies are electrically compatible.

On my car the issue is with the TSX throttle body, I have tested both the TPS outputs -- they are in spec (per Honda's spec) and not any different from the stock TB.

The J37 I cannot test as this is a remote customer's car, *however*, the J37 is commonly used on these cars (and the ZDX) as well as the 9th gen Civic with no troubles, I fail to understand how just this one car would be "rejecting" (for fail of a better term) the throttle body -- when the issue is present with the 100% OEM (original TB). I am having him install the OEM TB right now... if that sheds any light. I'm going to work with him to see if he can put a volt meter to both the TPS sensors at rest and full open to see if that helps.

Was this issue ever resolved? I've had the same problem on dyno recently, reving the car to 8500 rpm on WOT. Every time it was reved, I got the check engine light and the TB was going into some kind of limp mode reving 2000-3000 rpm constantly. Then had to clear DTC manually to get it work again.

The TB is J37 on K24/K20 frank with Flashpro 2.4.9. Never had such problems before.
