Not pretty when crawling a hill with your foot on the floor and get no shift( manual downshifting comes into play )...
I'd say the best way to look at the TPS is with a scantool.... But a digital multimeter will work...

now that you say that...
i have seen sometimes it seems to take ALLOT more to get it to kick down.
I think we may know what my problem is. I am going to check this out when i get home.

Don't adjust it, only use the part of how to check the readings. Report back your findings..

Just an hunch

Uploading video now so you can see it.
At idle its at .40 and WOT its at 4.30
In the video you can see that it looks ok. or so i think you guys can tell me what you think. will be like 5min or so...

The testing of the sensor was to know if you have a clear range from idle to wot, any drops or flucutations could help point out if the TPS is having issues. Seeing the problem on video w/o the TPS reading won't help from a standpoint of seeing what the TPS is doing when the issue occurs.
Please post the vids as it'll spark more ideas.. and see if you can watch the TPS when the issue is actually occuring.

K will do.
Now the other weird thing is, is that it doesn't do it 100% of the time. But that could just be a fluke :?
