Thanks again for the tips guys.

I tried setting the TPS during reassembly of the throttle body but I can't be sure it is correct. I did use a meter on the pins as described in the FSM, and moved the TPS until the values *changed... am I doing that right or can someone explain the procedure better?

(From the FSM)

3. CHECK THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
(See step 2 on page EG1û197)
(c) Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmû
meter *deflects, and secure the sensor with the two
screws.
(d) Using a thickness gauge, recheck the continuity beû
tween terminals IDL and E2.
(b) Insert a thickness gauge (0.70 mm or 0.0276 in.)
between the throttle stop screw and lever, and conû
nect the ohmmeter to terminals IDL and E2.
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR
(a) Loosen the two screws of the sensor.

Clearance between
lever and stop screw Continuity (IDLE û E2)

0.57 mm (0.0224 in.) Continuity
0.85 mm (0.0335 in.) No continuity
