1991 TPS Question
How do I adjust the d#$n thing? I found several people willing to sell me theirs, but I would rather fix mine. All I need is a pic or a GOOD explination of where the adjustment screw is. I know how to check the volts and all, I just can't find the screw!!

Run a quick search for "TPS adjustment" or something similar, this is talked about a lot and I'm sure there's plenty of good info. I'd write up some instructions for fine-tuning it, but I'm kinda busy today.

Well, for starters, the car idles rough when cold. The RPMs jump from 1200 to 1500 RPMS. Dave @ FC3S.org told me this is called hunting. Also, when I decelerate, i.e. let off the gas, the car falls flat on its face. It jerks pretty bad. It just feels like the gas is being completly cut off as soon as you let off the gas, and try to maintain an even speed. Dave said this is all due either a bad or poorly adjusted TPS.
