well i finally remembered where i got that TPS! it wasnt off an 86/87 car... today as i tried it out i remembered taking it off of a 3800 motor in the pick u part... and guess what.. IT WORKS!. You have to put the paddle, of course on the other side of the bar... which means the sensor is kinda turned a little sideways compared to the correct one.. BUT IT WORKS. idle is .42, WOT is 4.56, it was easy as pie.. so i suggest anyone in need of a TPS to run out to the pick u part and get one off a 3800 motor.. although they are kinda hard to get to.. but otherwise.. for a few bucks you should have a working TPS......

of course im not sure what kinda car it came off of.. but most likely it was a 86/87 3800 powered buick something or other..

so now.. no more SES light at idle! yippeee!
