so i got a good tps on the way, i was told not to mess with takeing the tps off unless you know what u are doing, but it doenst look that difficult. two screws, mark the srcews and the old tps and match up with mark with the new tps. yes or no?

You can't go by the marks necessarily. You need to calibrate the idle switch when you install the new TPS. Josh has posted a few times on how to do that.

Do you get continuity when you move the throttle?

Are you sure you're orienting the TPS correctly, and using the correct pins?

Did you look at the posts and links in the posts above to see if the info in there matches to Haynes?
