how to adjust tps

Hi all.
I was having a really bad problem with high rev going to 1200rpm some days, then 1500rpm then I adjust the biss via "only" a screwdriver and lower the revs, but later was the rev's up anothergain till I end up to 2100rpm !! and wasting a lot of gas 2 tanks in a week, when I usually use 1 1/4 tanks.
I check the tps with a multitester and was ok, then try to ajust the tps, but in my manual there was no adjusting procedure, so I adjusted moving counterclockwise close to the end, and then the revs went down to 1000rpms! much better like day and night, all the threads I check don't say how they finally solve the problem.
1- I need your help how to adjust the tps sensor with a multitester
2- what brand of pocketlogger to do all the adjusting (digital tuning, inc? http://pocketlogger.com/index.php?pid=obdii)
3-Can I solve the check engine light with the pocketlogger?

my car is a 2g with a 1g motor( no cranck sensor)

Thanks for your time

Re: how to adjust tps

1) High idle isn't ALWAYS sensor related but in your case it most likely is, is it a constant high idle or more like idle surge? Have you checked the ISC yet?

2) You can't make any adjustments with a pocketlogger, it does what it says, it takes logs of what your engine is doing. If you want control of what your car is doing then I would recommend DSMlink.

3) There is a "self-check" option on the car when you throw a CEL, it deals with turning the key on and off a few times and watching how many times the CEL blinks, I belive there's a how-to in your owners manual about that. For your random misfire code, read up on this. The article is at the bottom of the page labeled "Problems!"

Thanks gt

It is constant high idle, I change the ISC and the high idle didn't change (I'm using the new good use one), I check also for air leaks found one and fix it and I still have a small one around the biss bolt. ( need O ring )
The tps was at the the center of the total adjust I had to go nearly all counterclockwise. if I put it all clockwise the revs will go up and down , up and down maybe is a lean condition? but nearly counterclockwise drop the revs to 1100-1200, I made a test by taking off the top part of the ISC and made the adjustment manualy by turning the isc shaft to the right side and the revs drop I believe the isc trys to center that shaft and goes on a rich mixture, maybe I'm going to get a new tps since my car is a 110,000 miles

I believe I read that "self-check" is for a 1g, doesn't work on a 2g
I already check that site before with no good luck, my alternatives is going with a 93-94 hall efect CAS or the dsm link will get disable that randon misfire.

And for the TPS adjusting anyone?

thanks gt
