    turn the car on, don't start. as you SLOWLY move the linkage, the injecotrs should click once everytime a new spot on the tps is found. there are supposed to be 20 seperate spots, but 17 or 18 will do. if you don't get a click, move the engine slightly, the trigger points may not be open. good luck, chuck.

      17 or 18 clicks will sorta do, if you're only interested in having the throttle switch act as an accelerator pump; which is one of its intended functions.

      20 clicks are best. 20.

      Best,
