I was trying to do a base idle reset but my TPS voltage is way out of wack. Here is what I have:

Engine warmed and up to operating temp and then shut off-

TPS- .14 volts between green and black wire.

TPS connector orange 4.74 volts
black - .02 volts
green - .00 volts

I tried another TPS sensor that I had in the garage (not totally sure if it was good) and got the same .14 volts

As far as I know, voltage should be around .98 between green and black with key on - engine off.

Looks to me like the TPS sensor is bad.

What do you guys think??
