Do you have to reset the computer, jump any plugs, or disconnect the battery?

I checked mine with an ohm meter, set it to work "off idle", but when I start the car, the idle speed is at 1200 or so. Then I left the car running, and moved the TPS slowly till the Idle speed went down. Seems like I'm back to where I started. There is alot of pedal movement to get "off idle" on the TPS. Maybe its gone poo-poo?

What I'm trying to cure is the slow throttle response. My 89 Maxima Service manual says to turn ECU fully contercloockwise, set TPS with ohm meter.

I checked the full TPS movement (@ the plug next to it) with an ohm meter, and not knowing how to properly read an analog meter, on R1, it is allmost a closed circuit at idle, (about 90% of the meter) and goes closed at WOT. Am I making sense? Not alot of movement on the meter. I bought a digital meter the other day, (Sperry DM5300) what range should I set it, and what reading should I get?

Thanks........
