    Easiest to do with a DDT or Computer Diagnostic System (dealer item).

    Can be done with a volt meter also...... following the directions in the OEM Service Manual for testing TPS voltage.

    Save your money. The TPS itself is NOT adjustable.

    The only settings you'll be able to adjust would be the throttle arm itself (unless this engine has been modified.... I've seen a couple of Eric Simon's setups with an adjustable TPS link arm).

    In either case- you'd want a DDT or Computer Diagnostic System connected to the engine to make any adjustments (or monitor the TPS readings).
