That link doesn't tell you how to set the tps, it just tells you to set it.

HAILERS

Now I'm going to keep a copy of those words and spend the rest of the day trying to figure out the meaning. It Doesn't then it does????? Must be some deep meaning there. humor

And, is this a Turbo or non turbo car?

EDIT: Actually I'm not really interested in telling someone how to set the tps. On the whole it's a really pretty straight forward propositon. The FSM says a properly set tps at idle will output apporx 1 vdc. That's with a fully hot engine. So set it to 1 vdc and go on to doing something else. The green/red wire is the ouput wire on the tps connector and it's the same green/red wire where it enters the ECU on pin 2G.

If your into wasting your life away messing with the setting of the tps go read the FUEL section of the FSM and ohm the life out of that bugger. The end result, IF you do it right, is an output of..............one (1) vdc of the green/red wire on the tps plug.

Or you can manufacture the two LED lights for installation into the TPS CHECK CONNECTOR (green, three sockets) and follow the instructions in the FSM. It's a free and online FSM. IT"s in the FUEL seciton.

I may update that with the easy 1V method (or was it 0.95V?) method HAILERS mentioned. Or he could do it, I'm just not 100% positive how to do it with S4 and S5.

how acurate to 1K ohm do you have to get? mine was set at 1.8 ( maybe it was cold i cant remember ) I will warm up and check tonight tho.
coz after i set it to 1Kohm it idoled really low- 600 or so

It should be dead on at 1k ohm.

If you want to err, err on the low side.
Setting it down to 0.950k ohms is fine.
I tend to adjust it to slightly under 1k-ohm.
