I adjusted the TPS, and it seemed like it barely passed? but when I adjusted the throttle-plate stop screw to proper adjustment, and put the throttle body back on, the truck did not want to idle at all!! and when I shorted out the timing plug, there was no difference in idle, so I am going to replace the TPS.

But on another note, I did move the timing to about 12 degress and took it for a cruise around the blcok (although it wouldn't idle) and it really did run GREAT! Now i just need it to do it properly!

The cheapest I found on the net was $75 and wouldn't be here til next week. So I ordered a Borg Warner one and it'll be in tom, but I"m embarrassed to say what I paid, my patience is long gone, so whatever. Tom I will install the new 2 stage thermostat I'm picking up at Toyota at 8am and the new TPS. Well see from there. Again thanks alot for the help guys, lets sit back and see what happens with the problem machine from hell! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
