Yeah, we really don't want to fix it that way... Do not want to mess with the TPS sensor..it would be easier to just add material back to the bumpstop....

Not trying to be rude... well..maybe just a little bit. But umm...did you not even read my post? Wow...I already posted the voltage...

That pic was before I installed it, and adjusted the screw. IIRC, it's down to maybe a thread or two sticking out, not much. Then just measure the voltage and adjust the screw until you get it right.

I'll more than likely have to end up goin' this route. I know it works, but I shouldn't have to fix anything after paying to have it done, you know? Thanks for the pic, though.


Man, that 4.94 was ******' rediculous!!!!!! The bottom of the throttle blade was looking skywards. We've redneck rigged it with aluminum tape for now, until we get something fingered out.
