NOTE: Perform all testing procedures with engine at normal operating temperature.
  1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect electrical connector from TP sensor. Loosen TP sensor retaining screws.
  2. To check proper TP sensor operation, using ohmmeter, check resistance or continuity with selected feeler gauge thickness between throttle lever and stop screw. See Figure and Figure . See THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR RESISTANCE  table.
  3. If TP sensor resistances are not as specified, adjust or replace TP sensor. See procedure under ADJUSTMENTS  . Once properly adjusted, reconnect electrical connector.
