Axamax from the UK had the same Throttle Position Indicator Low Voltage condition that I had, indicated by 8 short blinks of the PGM-FI light. I told him that my dealer had replaced the voltage regulator/rectifier, the TPI sensor, and (later) the plug caps. I got this PM from him today, which made me realize that even though Honda doesn't import all the accessories that the UK has, there are still some advantages to being a US customer:
Replaced the regulator/rectifier a couple of weeks ago. It improved the problem but did not cure it. I have just found out that the Throttle Position Sensor is available separately. A friend in Macedonia had same problems and when they wouldn't tell him what they were replacing (under warranty for him), he took pictures of the part and the box (with part number)
The US price for the part , listed as Motor Assembly on the microfiche, is approx $48 . The UK price approx $150.
I'll order it from the USA I think.
By the way the throttle bodies are approx $1690 in the UK. ($522 in the US)
