Don't take off the Throttle Postion Sensor [TBS] unless you know how to put it back on.

I see he drives a 95 - I know that on the 96s, the TPS is self-adjusting... Is that the case for the 95s as well, or will he need a multimeter?

His is self adjusting, I don't think mine is, so I left it alone.

If I need it I have a good meter that I use in troubleshooting the digital control systems on my injection molding machines. How do i tell if my TPS is self adjusting?

Yours should be self adjusting. Each of the bolt holes that attach the TPS to the throttle body should be perfectly (or close) round. The adjustable TPS will have slotted bolt holes to allow movement.
