ok cool so then i fix the tps by turning that screw right?

turnig the springloaded screw is part of it. It helps to have a means to adjusting the screw, being the test lights and/or an ohm meter to check resistance in the switch its self. You should invest in a manual or find one online to refer to. The explanations, pictures and wiring diagrams make repairs fairly easy.

Anything much higher than idle is beond the scope of the TPS. The TPS would throw off idle and partial throttle. When is the last time you changed the plugs and wires? Did timing? TPS?

TPS would be the first thin i'd check. And the LED lights dont do ****. It said my car was fine with the LED's, but when i plugged it into an voltimeter i was reading 4 instead of 1 ohm at idle, way off.
