B and D? Are you on the correct connector?

Use the flat 3 wire connector.

Well I followed your directions for 'engine' and B and C I got nothing. Will double check. Also checked for 'trans' on the square plug, and B and D got the same outcome as B and C

Stick with the flat 3 wire plug.

Key On, right?

10-4. That's affirmative. I've got another digital meter I'm borrowing from my bro to double check

Ok, so with the digital unit it helped a lot. My input I'm getting 4.85. Output, was .17. Max I can get adjusting is .71. 17% per your instructions is .8245.

Didn't get a chance to test drive to see if there was a difference, but I plan on it in the morning

Hey!! Get your butt in gear and test it out. We're sitting on the edge of our chairs, you know.

As long as that rain ain't too hard to fly up under the hood, I'm good.
But I think we gonna get a lot more rain again.

After seeing this post, I went out and adjusted mine on my 90 xj.

Did it the way the video suggests, no difference. so I pulled it out one click to loosen it a bit, it was actually keeping me from getting FULL throttle by small amount.

took it for a test drive, made a hell of a difference. probably the opposite result that you want but it raised my shift points a bit, it feels more normal. But I also have oversized tires. the motor doesn't feel as overworked anymore.

plus before I had to let off a bit for it to shift sometimes, now it just shifts. even at WOT.

It's something everyone needs to do at least once in the lifetime of their Jeep.

Well, the adjustment to the TPS didn't effect the shifting. I picked a new one up from AZ, but not sure if I should go ahead and install, or look elsewhere for answers
