Ok I cleaned the TB and the screen along with the MAF and replaced the gasket. The car runs better but u need to adjust my TPS. I bought a manual but I am having trouble figuring out what I am adjusting. On that note, since mine is adjustable (92) do i need to buy anything?

Thanks,
Chris

I know that and I have read where I am supposed to test but mine I guess is adjustable because it is a 92, so HOW do I adjust it?

In your case Chris..your adjustment is already part of the sensor. No need to drill or use washers. You only need the adjustment part using the voltmeter.

Default tps

thats the idea. Adjust the idle voltage with the meter hooked up.
