1K Ohms on warm engine idle stop..
Quick TPS check (while driving)
This works best with a loud exhaust. Find a flat open road with a gap in the traffic. Cruise along at about 3k rpm. Lift off the throttle. This should give a fuel cut on both rotors as you back down. The motor is just pumping air. Very gently pick up just the slightest throttle. With practice you can hear the rough sound of only #1 rotor getting fuel, while #2 pumps air. Then adding just a little more throttle, #2 comes on.
You can also do this as you slow down in gear and the throttle is very near, but not quite at idle.
As you lift the throttle you can hear the #2 fuel cut before #1.
When you get down to near 1500rpm fuel comes back on to prevent stalling, so this works best between 1500 and 3k.
