@Bird76MojoOn your timing, shouldn't the 10 degree mark be lining up WITH THE POINTER? Not in between the pointer and the eyelet..? It's been a long time since I had to time a 2.9, let alone, work on one, so I can't remember what the timing pointer looks like.
I guess what you're trying to say is that you timed it with the SPOUT unplugged at 10 degrees, then when you plugged in the SPOUT, the timing mark was then showing up between the pointer and eyelet??
You might have to look through the tech library on here, or Google search is sometimes easier, and find the procedure to check the TPS. It's not hard at all. I located one page for you here: https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/index.php?threads/how-to-adjust-tps-sensor-ford-fuel-injection-models.66515/
You didn't forget to plug in the coolant temperature sensor did you? That may effect idle as well.
Hopefully others will chime in before I have you on a wild goose chase. lol
Thanks again for the help. I found this video on YouTube. I'm still going to use a sewing needle to probe the wire once i find out which one it is. But according to this video i can just touch the ground on the multimeter to the negative side terminal on the battery. Is that correct? Don't mean to beat a dead horse... just want to get it right.
