Now tighten the bottom screw just slightly to hold it in place, look on the scanmaster for the TPS value, and if you move the front of the tps up or down SLIGHTLY, you'll notice the value change. Shoot for .40

Got it? tighten screws, re verify idle value. Now, while watching tps value, push acclerator all the way WOT (remember, we're still key on ENGINE OFF). You'd hope to see a wot TPS value better than 4.5, but not more than 4.95.
Dave, I just tested mine since, when the car is running at idle it is .46. With key on, engine off it is .44 idle and 4.28 max.
How would I adjust this since idle is high and max is low?

thanks, Glen
