You are welcome.
Sounds like you and posters to your reply have found you problem.
The analog volt/ohm meter can be used for a resistance check but only a digital volt meter should be used checking any PCM/ computer voltage or computer resistance testing.
The high resistance in the old analog meters can damage the computer circuits.
Not safe for computer voltage test.
But to get down to the nitty gritty on tps sensor tread out and testing only a good lab scope will show the TPS fine/true voltage readings and dropouts that a tps sensor may have.
The digital volt meter will not show dropouts in voltage very good.
Also disconnect the idle kicker solenoid and or fast idle stuff when checking TPS sensor voltage.
Good luck and let every know how it goes.
