Re: tps question
TPS sensors usually have a power and a ground and signal. If you are using a multimeter, it measures the difference in voltage between the two probes. So if you're measuring a voltage, it matters where each probe is. FOr example, if you had a 1 volt output signal measured between the signal and ground, and you instead measured that 1 volt signal between the signal and (for example, 5 volt power) power, the multimeter would read 4V. Now it's measuring the difference between 5 volts and 1 volt, instead of 0 volts (ground) and 1 volt.
This is why your readings may be the opposite of what you may expect. I don't remember where the TPS signal is measured (signal to ground or signal to power) but I'm just explaining why you may be seeing what you are seeing.
