with the car running reach under the hood and start wiggling and
shaking all the wires to see if you can get your mystery idle problem to
show its ugly head.

Usually a TPS doesnt require adjusting as long as no one has touched it
and its functioning properly. There is actually a cap over it from the
factory. Is the cap still on there? Someone could adjust the TPS by accident thinking its the idle adjustment because of its location on the engine it can
tend to look like a idle adjustment, that happened when I got the AC charged on the GXL, my mechanic friend who charged it thought he was kicking the idle up a bit when in fact he was adjusting the TPS. The car didnt run right all the time, I adjusted it back and it was fine. I adjusted it by ear and driving the car and turning it off and on, but there is a way to make a device to properly adjust the TPS, someone must know where there is a write up for it somewhere.
