I attempted to adjust the TPS in the car and I was unsucessful so I took it out. I've got it on my desk here and its a lot easier to hold things in place, but the resistance readings arent the same.
The readings will jump very eratically. For example, this is how it goes....I'll turn it clockwise and it'll read a .03 > .09 > 1.60 > .12 > 2.60 > .04 > infinity. Its really touchy and it never wants to read a clean constant, or even go up evenly. I move it in small incrimints and as soon as I stop the reading lowers as I hold it there. I am using the needle style voltmeter so it is a bit difficult holding them on the sensor prongs, but it still seems like something is wrong.
Tomorrow I'm going to go get some alligator clips to help hold the testers in place. Any other tips in the mean time?
