New radiatior that's all I've done to it. On idle she ticks over well. Soon as I touch accelerator then take foot of it she revs up herself. Is it the tps sensor. Heard I need full throttle body to fix any advice people.

If it IS the TPS sensor, you don't HAVE to get an entire throttle body, but it is much easier if you want to DIY. Otherwise, you will have to take it into a shop, or Honda to have the new TPS sensor properly calibrated.

You sure it's not a funky IAC valve? Did you check it over well?

Test, don't guess!
Guessing and firing the parts cannon can be a colossal waste of money.

You are in the UK? Scotland?
Depends on how Honda sells it over there.

Over here (North America) you have to buy the entire throttle body from Honda to get the TPS sensor.
Correct adjustment/calibration is critical, that's why they come already attached to the throttle body.

TPS can probably be found through the aftermarket, without throttle body.
