OK, you don't check any computor controlled parts w/ a test lite. Good way to toast your ecm. You need a volt/ohm meter and most of the sensors run off of 5 volt signals.

TPS runs off a 5 volt reference signal.

wrong test buddy, test light is to pull codes, not to set the TPS[8D]

it means that you have already labeled yourself as someone that knows nothing about how EFI works, and you shouldn't be doing what your doing.

you are obviously ignorant to instructions.
