I wonder if disconnecting the TPS and measuring resistance to both terminals with it turned full in each direction would tell you if it is good or not. It is a potentiometer and should read 0 ohms to +5V ref and 0 ohms to the +5V return with it turned all the way the other way.

I have been trying to get someone to test a good sensor in order to have an idea what ballpark to test for. I measured mine and calculated(see above), but have not seen what others have measured on a working tps.

The multimeter was the issue. Thanks! .540 volts closed, 4.7 wot. That should take care of that issue. Thanks again. The last time I'll use a cheap multimeter at home. I leave my fluke at work. I'll have to buy another quality one to keep at home.
