            yes i would also like to know some more on how to tell if the TPS is adjusted right and if it works.
            my car was idling at 1000+rpms and i had recently worked with my throttle so i checked there first and noticed that the TPS had slid to a different postion than before, i moved it to the "same" postion that i remembered it at but i'm not 100% sure its back to where it used to be. car drives fine now but i want to know how to double check. should it make a click or something at WOT, what i could check for?

              basically the idle switch should make when the throttle butterfly is closed. just rotate the tps until it clicks right when the throttle butterfly is fully closed or a touch before. the WOT switch doesn't click as loud as the idle one. the idle switch is a microswitch and the top end one is just a wafer switch easy enough to test it with a DMM the centre contact on the tps connector is ground the sides are for the idle and WOT.
