Ya mean just make sure the notch is line up with the notch on the tps right? or are you saying something different
So make sure your tps lever is installed in here. It should be off centered from the holes at first. you would then have to turn the TPS a bit for the screw holes to line up. then plug it in and stick your multimeter in there and adjust it by turning it till you get to around .5-.56 and tighten.

Heres the link I got that from.

Ya its in there i did it a few times to make sure lol.
But i need to correct something from first post. its not 27 volts in my signal wire its 27 mv, this will change the mv when the tps is moved or throttle is opens.
I dont get a full volt in this.
Info about car added also

The only time i get 4.96 volts is checking the actual power wire, the yellow wire,
the signal wire the red/blue i get millivolt readings
ill make a vid gimme few min

Ya was all plugged in.
I tested the old tps with same results also.
Also no code for the tps.
reason i replaced the old tps cause it was broken.
Here is the vid
first reading is the yellow wire, dmm clearly shows 4.96 volts
2nd reading is the red/blue wire, the i wot it. i try to turn the tps but ran outta time in the camera lol

Its the same, All the bare wires are from running new wires ill get that replaced in a bit.
But I brought in my 93 ex. tested it by back probing and still get the millivolt readings. So i assume it must be the dmm not being able to set to 20v.
the 93 tested at 33.XX mv and .333 volts. So i just set the 91 to that lol.
Time for a new dmm i suppose
