I've used needles to back probe through connectors. That way you can check the signal voltage, reference voltage, and grounds. It may be a bad connector somewhere in between the TPS and computer.

NOTE: I back probe through the connector, not through insulation. You don't want to wreck the insulation.

From what I can tell I'm getting good juice to the connector. It'* right at 12 volts.

Check the ground and the signal voltages too.

Well if I'm getting 12 at the connector I don't think there is a problem. I think there might be a relay going out somewhere.

Well, on the advice of a good friend, I took off my Ignition Mod and took it to get tested. 4 out of 6 circuits are bad. So...this could be the culprite I have been looking for. Unfortunately it'* a $140 part. looks like I'll have to wait until pay day to replace it. Thank God it'* easy to get to.

code 18 cam/crank sensor circuit. check connections at ECM the crank position flash,sensor and the ignition control module. Also check for opens or shorts in the sensor wiring. Check for bent vanes in the interrupter ring on the vibration damper, and check that the crank sensor is not damaged or misaligned. All info is from HAYNES manual I hope this helps.
