Hi all,

I've been unable to get my idle control motor to turn on. Per Bentley, I tested @ #2, which should show continuity to ground at idle position (which should energize the idle control motor, yes?). No dice. So I replaced the TPS. Still no continuity to ground. Should I assume that the new TPS is bad out of the box? Or is there some other cause for this?

In the meantime, am I causing any harm by adjusting the throttle valve to crack open and provide some idle?
