When tapping into one of the wires on my throttle response sensor I had to take it off. Black94 5.0 said I would need to re-adjust it once putting it back on. I can't remember the tool he said that is needed to "calibrate" (for lack of a better word) it.

Also what is the reading that I want on the throttle response sensor when doing this?

Car runs fine but has a small burp in idle.

Do not set it to .98 volts. Try 0.85 or so. Basicly, 0.75-0.90 is fine.
