Why yes I did. It tells nothing pertaining to my situation.

Sure it does. It says basically you should have no reason to mess with it. Tons of people here switch throttle bodys, and never adjust the TPS. I just did it a week or 2 ago. Our PCM's aren't like the old style EEC's where you have to sit there and jack with it.

What's more important is, are you having idle issues or something that's causing you to mess with it? The values you're showing are correct. I don't see how probing the wrong wires and getting weird values is confusing.

Values look fine to me.

There is nothing to mess with anymore. Computer will automatically set the 0.93 value as baseline automatically at startup.

I understand it says it takes the lowest voltage registered at idle. But the lowest voltage seen, when checking the wires per the chiltons manual is 4.xx

If I was checking it incorrectly, I was hoping someone would point it out. You say I was checking incorrect wires to get the wrong voltage. I wasnt just probing wires. The first check was done the way chilton said to check voltage.

To get the correct voltage I had to check the wires in a different fashion the then manual said. However when I got the correct voltage that way I figured I better ask some questions.

If they are fine great, Thanks for your your input.

The reasoning for the check was my TPS went bad, and I didnt realize it. Unfortunatley I had my tune done with it bad, so once replaced it through my A/f ratio off and it wouldnt idle very well. I spent 300 bux for nothing on that tune. I thoughbt it might be worth asking questions to get my "ducks in a row" before I go and blow that money again.
