clicking noise in wiring when adjust TPS

Anybody else have this issue or is it normal?

When I ground the tps for adjustment I hear clcking in the wiring, not sure if I have a issue with wires crossing or bare wires being grounded?

thanks

Please explain what you mean/do when you ground the TPS. I'm not familiar with any need to ground anything when adjusting the TPS.

It is the port air solenoid opening and closing. Perfectly normal with the check connector grounded and fiddling with the TPS. If you are using the test light method, one of the LED's will come on and off with that clicking noise.
