I have a 87 V-6 Excel is there any way of checking and adjusting the TPS with out the test wire harness ( part # YB-6283)?

If not does any one have one for sale?

Thanks

Re: Throttle Position Sensor Question

I can tell you the hillbilly approach. Take 2" pieces of very fine wire and carefully insert into the female side of the TPS connector. Push the male side in leaving the ends of the wires exposed outside of the connector. Then you can read across the wires for a voltage. Be very careful not to let the wires touch each other and cause a short.
Unforunately, I cannot tell you which wires to read across as I am awaiting a response myself. My guess is the pink and orange. (although an Excel might be different colors than mine) Rodbolt is probably one of the few guys on this board that knows for sure.
