Default 86 TPS adj?

I was going to replace the TPS on my 86 due to some idle problems but when I tried to adj it the lowest voltage I could get was about 3.45. the signal from the ecm is dead on at 5volts. I thought the tps should be at .5 volts with the throttle closed. What am I doing wrong or missing. Thanks for any help. Charlie M

With the ignition key on, the TPS on an 86 should be .54.

I am only able to get mine down to 3.45 with the throttle closed. Could I be doing something wrong?

Double check your settings on the OHM meter. If you are correct, then your TPS may be toast.

Default Idle fixed Old age?

Got my idle problems fixed. Hate to admit it but I think old age and stupidity were a major factor. My auto range DVM would go to mili volts when it would get below about .75 volts I didn't catch it for a few tries. Thanks for the input.
