Traction

So I just got my Car. Never really done any major work on a D series motor but I want to learn.
I bought the car and drove it and it was perfect but Ive had it for 3 days now and I got on the gas and started to redline some gears, look down at the cluster

Engine

****, Its a code 7, look it up. TPS. Did a little research but couldnt find any info on how to adjust it

1.How do you take a voltage measurement from it with a Multimeter?

2.How do you adjust it (still riveted) if the readin is bad

3.How do you tell if it needs to be replaced

4.Complete replace steps

Now if people search they will always see this thread and I hope all 4 questions above will be answerred. Need to car to run great for a race against a Laser on monday.

Thanks for any good related info

1- Stick a paper clip in the backside of the connector, or shave a small piece of sheething off the YEL/WHT signal wire to take a reading. KOEO (key on engine off) take the reading with the red prong on the paper clip/wire and the black on a good ground point. Set the DVOM to voltage and see what you get. Should be .5v with the butterfly closed and 4.5v when at WOT.

2- take a dremel with a cutting disk and slot the rivits so you can get it with a flat head, or just shave the heads off and replace with screws

3- if you cant get the adjustment remotely close to factory specs (.5v & 4.5v) the TPS is shot

4 place back on with screws and follow the 1st step to adjust it

1. Already been explained
2. You take if off and take a hack saw or dremel and make a slot for a screwdriver to fit so you can turn it.
3. Follow the troubleshooting steps explained in #1 answer
4. If you dont know how and is posting bumps for someone to give you an EASY asnwer, then you need to learn basic auto / mechanical skills and electrical skills.

1. Im 16 ***, sorry if I lack technical/electrical knowledge as Ive never taken a course in my life nor did I have a car until 2 weeks ago nor did I have a father who could show me automotive things

2. **** yourself with your stupid comments
