TPS adjustment
Can someone tell me if I'm doing this correctly? Not much experience with electrical of multimeters but willing to learn...

Looks like you have the multimeter set to ohms(resistance), it should be set to DC Voltage.
Try flicking it up 2 notches to the "2" setting. I can't read the settings on the bottom of your multimeter, but you may have to move the lead over to the left side port.

Thank you! I've never been good with electrical and actually just used a multimeter a few months ago to chase down a problem with my xterra. I'll have to look at the pets when I get home. I thought it should be on the DC song but want getting a reading on any adjustments at all. Now I have some work to do tonight! Thanks

It's been a few years but I thought I set my multi meter to milliamps. Be very gentle on the adjustment screws. It probably barely needs a 1/4 turn.
Are you replacing the TPS? Other than that the need for adjustment is rare.

I went out and bought a new oil pan gasket and transmission pan gasket to install this weekend with the new air Damn. I'm going to take a video tonight as I make the adjustments to the TPS. I tried a quick adjustment earlier but the numbers didn't seem to respond much to any turning... Stay tuned!
