I unplugged the O2 sensor and adjusted the TPS. I didn't have my feeler
gauges with me, so I just roughed it, but it's better than before. It was a
bit out of alignment. It would click closed, but it would click when it
still had nearly a quarter inch gap at the stop screw. I tested the
resistance and it seemed to be fine. So far, I haven't heard the "misfire".
I may just need to drive it around some more and listen. Good thing I
decided to take a look, because I also discovered one of my plug wires that
decided to disintegrate. Another thing for the list!
Now to research more exhaust systems...
