I posted awhile back about my car not idleing back down to norm. Today I unpluged my tps and it starts up good and idle's right down. Just cant give it any gas or it will stall. Now this means that my tps needs replacing?

Go to an Autozone, and they will test it for free. If there is a "dead" zone on the multimeter as they work the throttle, then yes, you need a new one.
They only cost about 30 bucks, and I don't think there is any core value.

No autozones around here. I checked and at napa they want 45bucks but I'm sure its cheaper at VIP (havent checked there yet)

For that price you can buy a nice Digital Multimeter and do it (and many other things) yourself - if you know how to use one, which I do not.

Just read the green wire with Key on. Voltage should be .90-.97
Very simplle to adjust as well...Take a jewel file and hog out the mounting holes for the TPS....Moving it Clockwise & Counter Clockwise in very small increments can enable you to adjust it manualy.
