Terry,

I adjusted the TPS using a multi meter and it shows the all or none behavior
it should in the right places (infinite resistance when engaged and 0 when
not).

The tracks on my AFM board seem very wide and somewhat fuzzy for a unit that
should have only 57K miles.  I'm kind of suspicious that somebody that did
work for the PO swapped a parts pile piece of junk into it at some point.
I've cleaned it and shifted the board and got a little improvement.
