Check for referance voltage; (+) on the purple/white wire terminal. (-) black/light blue wire terminal. be around 5.0 volts.
Throttle fully closed should be .5-1.5 volts, Moving the throttle lever to open throttle the voltage should change with a max of 3.5-4.5 volts.

Goodluck

That is measured on the center wire with the TPS hooked up to its connector. A paperclip works well to backprobe the connector to measure the voltage.

What I do that works better than a paper clip for measuring voltage with the TPS connected is strip about an inch of insulation off a short length of stranded wire then cut all the strands off except two.
Insert these strands into the female side of the connector before you push it back together.
The insulated wire is much easier to keep from shorting together than paper clips.

Good idea:thumbsup: It doesn't "spring" the female side of the connector, does it? Probably not if the wire used is very fine strands...

I just used a single paper clip soldered to a long length of wire. I stuck the paper clip into the back of the connector, alongside the wire, until it made contact. I pick up my ground right at the battery post, so there was no possibility of shorting out at the TPS connector.

2tonchevy: where can you get a TPS for $130? I thought they were something like $230 new...:doh:
