You didn't answer the question, Hurc. Take another swing at it. Do
the factory guys use a spring-loaded XLJ macro-hook tool to adjust
the TPS sensor?

Apparently not. And if it did, apparently not enough to make a damn
bit of difference since the TPSs I've adjusted have went tens of
thousands of miles without incident, or even driveability problems as
all have logged stellar trap speed numbers for their combinations.

Yeah, you don't want her to show up... she could whoop the sh.t out of

Now stay out of my courtroom unless you can present a decent case.

No, Hurc. Tell us how the factory guys adjust a TPS... what's the book
say?

Hurc, pull your head out of your a.s. My car is nearly 13 years old
and has over 100K miles on it. Why would I be concerned with the
warranty? (BTW - I adjusted my TPS 6 years and over 60,000 miles ago.)

Hurc, stay with me here. Pay attention. Try to follow along. Warm up
your brain cell. A 5-oh if that makes it easier for you. Tell us how
the factory guys adjust a TPS... what's the book say?

It's worth something if it runs and looks great.

Both are worth more than your hitch-hiking thumb and Chuck Taylor
tennis shoes.

When are you gonna tell Hurl who owns the FORD cars on the FORD
assembly line? How do you expect him to answer without knowing who
owns the FORDS in the FORD factory? C'mon, quit stalling. He'll never
figure it out on his own.
