TPS setting: approx. Between 0.41 [VIN Y] at min idle, (ISC retracted, A/C OFF), and 5.0 volts at WOT (<1 volt at idle, typically between 0.4-0.5 volts for Olds G-body 4 bbl). [VIN 9 is .046 @550 idle, A/C off]

1. Drill a 5/64" (0.078") hole about 1/16" to 1/8" deep in the aluminum plug covering the TPS adjustment screw. Be careful not to damage the adjustment screw.

2. Start a No. 8-1/2" long self-tapping screw into the plug enough to ensure good thread engagement.

3. Pry the plug out with a wide-blade screwdriver. Discard the plug.

4. Unplug the electrical connector at the TPS, then connect jumper wires between the three terminals of the connector and TPS.

5. Connect a digital voltmeter across the center and lower terminals: terminal "B" and terminal "C". Only a digital voltmeter with 10 megohm input impedance or higher can be used. Conventional voltmeters do not have sufficient resistance to obtain accurate readings.

6. With ignition switch ON, engine and A/C OFF, turn the TPS screw with tool j-28696 or BT 7967-A (or equivalent) to obtain the voltage specified in the carburetor charts. (Speical tool made for TPS hex headed adjustment screws) I think the hex driver tool size is 2.5 mm hex.

7. Turn off ignition. Remove jumper wires and voltmeter, and reconnect the TPS connector.

8. Install new tamper-resistant plug, until flush with boss. If not available, use silicon RTV sealant or equivalent.
