Okay so I fixed my TPS sensor.. First I bought a new one just to rule out a bad TPS sensor. That was not the case so I knew that the sensor was reading backwards.. After switching the 5v and ground wire we were good to go.




Here is a little vid.. I need to take a proper vid but these will do for now.

Now that we have this wrapped up next on the list is to install my rivet nuts for overfenders, install brake lines, lower car, get alignment, wrap car and then schedule a tune session cause car needs it bad.
