[QUOTE="Timbo2015, post: 161972, member: 185"] If the tech. had a meter hooked up, I assume it was an ohm meter and he was measuring resistance with the TPS disconnected. Two of the pins should have measured in the 5000 ohm range, which would match up with the 5.xx you reported if he was on a 1000x scale. This is not to be confused with the 15-100 readout you get on the instrument panel in diagnostic mode. Measuring across 2 of the 3 pins will give a constant readout. Measuring across a different set of 2 will give a readout that changes with throttle setting. He should have checked both ways if he was diagnosing this problem. Note that the typical TPS failure does not usually show up on this type of test unless the TPS is hot. [/QUOTE]
