RE: tps adjustment
you need a volt meter that is digital it makes it easyer, put your black lead from the meter on a ground and pearce the green wire on the tps with a needle and put the red lead on that. then set to .98volts i do belive that is dc currant someone check me on that.

You shouldn't have a problem turning it even though there isn't much room. Do not use a analog multimeter.

whats wrong with using an analog multimeter? Any multimeter will work just fine if you know how to use it. Analog or digital with today's technology even a $20 meter will do just fine. The older analog meter's are still very accurate even compared to a $300 digital meter today. I have a 20 year old simpson analog meter and a $200 digital fluke, im just wondering why you say dont use a analog multimeter.

cuz it's awfully hard to adjust to less than 1 volt....or w/in a 5th of a volt for that matter w/ a needle and guage......
digital is a readout...plain and simple.
and my digital multimeter is a $20 craftsman
it has to be digital...unless your analog meter was like 0-5 volts , but i have never seen such a dog
