I think I do also and he was also. :-)

I'll ditto this. My talents exceeded Dad's, but he got me started.


OK. What is a throttle position sensor and
what is it needed/used for?. I know what
the throttle in a carburator is and how
it works but the position sensor is a new
one on me.

The throttle position sensor on an EFI (that's Electronic Fuel
Injection for those of you in Rio Linda) works like an electronic
version of the venturi in the carb. It tells the EFI to put so much
gasoline out the injectors depending upon the position of the valve.
