not ohms but volts .52 VOLTS as i mentioned you need the manual and scanner you have issues that the scanner will help you on and without it you are just doing whatever you can to hopefully find the problem its your time do as you want

http://www.winaldl.joby.se/ if you get the cable you can get this for free. the scale that you are using is not what you need.the volt scale is very low. you will need a meter that will go to 2vdc.

I would check the pawn shops for old scanners. a lot of the ob2 readers will also read obd1 but you want to make sure that it can read both.The old red bricks from snapon can read both.

They were like $12 and come in usb,wifi and bluetooth designs as well as possibly rj45 network interface if I remember right.. I have a much more expensive scanner but prefer this device. its pretty sickening actually because I wasted all that money on a scanner and for about $9 now this ELM adapter does more.

You can set your TPS without the engine running.
And I will write it again...I feel you are 'chasing your tail'.
You obviously can do what you want...I just HATE seeing you try stuff and not get anywhere do to needing the scanner and GM manual....but I would wait till I got what I needed. You can still check your fuel pressure...but that will take a special line configuration and gauge to replace the steel fuel line joining the two throttle bodies for this test. And if you still have an injector leaking as you mentioned before.,.I would get that fixed...THAT will make HUGE difference in getting this engine to run smoothly.

I can say this. When removing the fuel line that joins the two throttle bodies...BE CAREFUL.....the fuel line fitting can be really hard to break free...and at ALL COST...make sure you use a FLARE WRENCH for this. Using an open ended wrench can round off the head of the flare nut and screw it all up. ALSO...the fitting that these fuel lines go into should ALSO be held when trying to get the fuel lines off them.
I have modified wrenches that allow me to get in there and hold the large fitting on the throttle body so I can break the fuel lines loose..and sometimes I swear I feel I am going to chip my teeth when trying to get them to break loose.
AND...a few few times...I have to remove BOTH throttle bodies together so I could get that fuel line off. SO...yes...that can happen.
