No W.O.T should be 4.5 to 5 volts no more because the computer only sends it 5 volts.

Oh the TPS should be .8 to 1 volt throttle closed key on engine off, then go steady and consistantly with no drops in voltage to 4.5 to 5 volt at wide open, again key on engine off. The air charge temp sensor sounds good. Now if you would ohm the injectors they should be 8-12 ohms. Simply unplug and ohm injector.

I had a malfunctioning TPS on my Geo. Someone before me had crimped the TPS wires together instead of soldering them. With a little moisture they were shorting off and on. Worth looking at the condition of the tps wires.

finaly got it back togather cleaned as much of that carbon crap as i could,new gaskets and before i started on it i went to the junk yard got the detent cable and all the sensors could,havent put them on,but i have them if i need.
well it started and ill test drive tommarow.but it always seems fine after i do something to it,.
so if you could go over the crankshaft sensor test and anything else you can think of i would be greatfull...
