You'll need to use a multimeter.

-Turn the key to the "ON" position (not running)
-Tap into the middle wire on the TPS and get your readings from there
-With the throttle closed, take a reading
-Open the throttle all the way, take another reading
-Shift the TPS sensor as necessary until you get the proper readings.

You'll need to be between .45 & .50 at Closed throttle, and 4.5 & 5.0 at WOT.
