Did you try this yet, Elegant?

Was going to try to but my father keeps stopping me. He swears it's the TPS and he swears he could test it with an OHMmeter. I don't know if that is possible though I don't see why not, considering the dual light thing to check it I think works on the same principle, I think... (wiring isn't my forte). No matter what will check it tommorow regardless of what he says, this thing is irritating the **** out of me.
