Default Tps Problems-help Please

i bought a set of wheels and tires from a new forum member and i am pleased with the ride, coming from run craps to nitto 555's. unbelievable ride difference. i read a couple of posts on re-training the sensors, and went through the process i used several different magnets, even a large magnet from a 1000 watt sub and could'nt get the process to start. is there anything else to try? or i guess the sensor is no good. is there another way to test the sensor? it wouldnt let me skip the front left wheel and try another wheel. what to do?????? thanks

AFry,
In case you weren't aware, TPS sensors used on '01+ cars are not compatible with '97-'00 vettes (and vice versa, of course).
