There is a lead plug over the TPS adjustment- remove the plug and then follow the directions in the service manual. Be sure and replace the plug- it's what locks the screw so it can't turn.

You will need a multi meter and will need to be set at .525 if memory serves me right.

Go down to an Advance Auto or Autozone (or others) and pick up a digital multi-meter. It makes the job a whole lot easier and accurate.

Here is what the connector looks like:
