Connections and wires are good on both sensors. I am going to try both sensors and see if that takes care of it.

krandall...try using a multimeter to test the TPS per the Techinfo article. That will tell you if the TPS is good w/o buying one.

For a TPS, an anolog (watch the needle move) meter works best. If you're digital, go SLOW. Dead spots are very hard to spot.

I agree. I've found it virtually impossible to follow a digital meter while checking the TPS. You have to be very careful to catch any fluctuations in the reading.
