(1) To obtain idle position, apply 19 in. Hg to throttle opener. (2) There should be more than 2000 ohms difference between idle and wide open throttle readings. (3) TPS is not used on Swift (SOHC) with manual transmission. For testing Swift (SOHC) with manual transmission, see THROTTLE SWITCH (SWIFT SOHC WITH M/T)  under ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES in this article.
