  1. Turn ignition off. Ensure throttle valve is in closed position. Disconnect TP sensor connector. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between terminals "A" and "B" at TP sensor. See Figure . Continuity should exist. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, adjust TP sensor.
  2. Insert a .016" (.4 mm) feeler gauge between throttle lever and throttle stop screw. Check for continuity between terminals "A" and "B" of TP sensor connector. See Figure . Continuity should not exist. If continuity exists, adjust TP sensor.
