Checking TPS Voltage on a 94 5.0
Well I got a new TPS, after pulling TPS related codes. Now the question is how do I check the voltage. I hooked the postive lead to the gray wire with a white stripe via a pin. I attached the negative to a ground. Set the multimeter to 20K, yielded .76 volts. Am I good to go?

DMM setting should be in the VDC area, use the 20 or 2 VDC position..... 20k is a position associated with resistance readings. You may want to check this tutorial.

While monitoring the voltage, reconnect the EVP and check if it drops to .14 vdc. If that's the case, you may either have a problem in the wiring, or a short in one of the other sensors SIGRTN (Gray/Red) is shared with (ECT, ACT, O2 sensors and EVP). LUK
