>> Check with your meter that the closed-throttle switch opens (voltage
on the line goes up to ~5 V) when you open the throttle, and closes
when the throttle is closed. <<

Nope, no voltage across the TBS.  If I take the wires off the TBS and
measure the volts it 5+ V. When I put an ohmmeter across the TBS (engine
off) and it's reading a closed circuit at what would be idle and if I open
up the throttle it stays a closed circuit. If I move the throttle around
sometimes it opens up and the ohmmeter drops to 0 for a split second.

Sounds like a bad TBS doesn't it?

Thanks,
