I usually do ONLY one thing at a time before a test drive. I had the music going and I just kept going this time. I would start with the instrument ground.

My TPS "Tested" fine, but after my lasted adjustments on the old unit, I started to run rich (and both side were within spec KOEO). With the new unit, everything tests within spec AND I am no longer running rich.

All week we've been driving 1/2 mile back and forth 2x day to the neighbors' to take care of their critters while they are on vacation. Never get over 25 mph.

10-4. Pete. I haven't even done the dipstick yet though, (or the connectors).( I did see low resistance though, through the dipstick ground)

Maybe my switch was bad and stuck in comfort mode.

After 12+ years of having that switch, I can say for sure that it won't let it over rev. I Don't know of any wire going to it could cause 25-3000 + Rpm. I'm clueless on what and how the speed sensor works. I'm pretty sure it maters to the ECU.

In any case, it sounds like the new TPS was part of the solution.........

Are you resisting performing Tip 18 for any specific reason?

I can solder one up for you and send it out. Pm your address. I will do it today or tomorrow, pending on how today goes. Mondays are hectic.
