Yet another TPS question

Yes or no: If you get a check engine light for the TPS, does it mean that it is definitely bad, or maybe just out of tune?

It could be both.. test it out by getting a DMM and see if can go from ~1v too 4V smoothly.. if it does.. then it just not tuned.. if you see a constant 4v.. or a rough transistion.. it is bad.

Remove TPS plug and check the black and green wires-narrow range TPS (Front plunger). Adjust to 1k ohms. After, you can double check with the green test terminal, just to be sure.
