"Easy" way to make TPS checker!!!!

Take an old strand of those lil christmas lights (the small ones) and cut off two of the lights with about 3 inches of wire attached to each one, then splice one end of each lights wire together and the other two are on thier own. Warm up the car then shut it off, but leave the ingnition on. Go find the lil green three prong plug right behind your air filter mounted on the strut tower, place the spliced together wires in the hole that is by itself and the other two wires in the side by side holes. Now locate the TPS, which is attached to the front of the throtle body, and adjust the screw with the lil sping on it; turn it untill both lights come on. I found that turning it untill one comes on then slowly turning it untill the other comes on works best; try to get it as close as possible to where the second light comes on. Go drive.

I just gave the whole procedure to answer the inevitable question "What do I do with a TPS checker?"
