Lol it figures!!
Question: If it is adjusted properly for the Trans/driveability, wouldn't it, or shouldn't it be correct for the idle as well.
Crusier, you are awsome by the way.

Technically correct. But in reality not.
There are 2 different "ribbons" in the Renix TPS. One ribbon can be good and the other bad. I took one apart and proved it to myself. One for the trans and one for the engine. They work opposite of each other!! At closed throttle the trans side is about 82% of the input voltage and the engine side is about 17% of the input voltage. Add up 82 and 17 and you get close to 100%. See the correlation? So, you need to adjust your TPS using the flat 3-wire connector to 17% of your input voltage.
In 1991 Chrysler changed fuel injection systems and made their TPS work like the trans side of the old TPS. Now, only one ribbon for both functions.

4.66 X .17=.79
4.66 X .82=3.82
Concentrate on getting the engine side (flat) correct. So between B and C on the flat connector you should see .79 volts.
