Question 87 TII TPS help

I've done multiple searches and haven't turned up too much. I have a procedure on how to check the TPS, but I can't find the three pronged plug that the writeup mentions. I found another one that looked similar, and it was near the TPS, so I tried that and I got readings of .01V on each of the terminals. I'm assuming that's not the one, since it was white. In any case, the writeup was for a 1990, so does anyone know where that plug is for the 87? Also, since I have a TII, am I going to have to take off the intercooler and use the PVC to check it? If so, it's going on the back burner and I won't even worry about it, cause it's at least running now and I don't feel like messing around with all the bridging and plugging. Thanks.

I believe you do need to remove the ic, takes like 2 minutes. If something is wrong with your car fix it, dont just ignore it and let it cause more problems.

that's the page I was looking for AJ. And dr0x, I was thinking I'd have to run the car between settings, but not that I realize I don't have to, I'll definately be doing it. I guess I can't really complain about the post that doesn't help much though, since you did bump my thread. thanks guys.

NP, glad I could help.

Please post back when you set yours. I will be doing mine later this week when I get my multimeter in the mail.

Thanks
