that’* correct, you make it seem as if I’m lying. I’m as confused as you. Yes the test with the multi meter is in spec and yet it still is all over the place when I run live data on test drives. I’m sorry but that’* what’* happening and that’* why I’m so confused. I don’t know what to tell you. I appreciate all of your help so far, I’m grateful. But this is what is happening. Just trying to get some help before I take it to a shop and they charge me a **** ton of money to do the same things I’ve already done.

If you have a good TPS and you are seeing it bounce all over the place you have a problem with the wiring or the module has puked.
To find anomalies like this you need to load test the circuits. Resistance tests will not find a lot of these.

how do I load test the circuit? Is that something I would be able to do at the house with minimal tools?
