TPS problem and tuning the fan with a fresh KLDE swap

I can't seem to tune the fan on my fresh KLDE millenia swap. I am using a KL01 ECU and KL02 VAF. I think what the problem is is that I need to use the TPS from my K8 OBD1 motor and tune it on the millenia throttle body. I'm going to go and try this now. If it doesn't work, then when I come back hopefully someone has replied to my post on what I should do haha.

My last option would be to go to the junk yard and get a TPS off of a 92-93 ford probe or MX-6.

I have never done the fan trick... But the reason for adjusting the TPS is to set the idle switch.. Thats your 4th wire on the tps... You can do this with a multimeter if the fan trick isn't working...

The 4th wire will either be grounded or open at idle only.. Just after the throttle comes off idle it would change state... I don't remember which one but you can test it..

Fan trick is a no go, I'll dig up the info you need. I've posted it at least 10 times.

This should take you about 1/2 an hour to do.

TPS Adjust (mechanicl)
Engine off.
Detach TPS connector.

Wire Colour & Purpose
P= +5V reference
Y= TPS position signal to ECU
BR= TPS idle switch
BK/DB= sensor ground

Connect ohmeter to 2 bottom pins (BR and BK/DB) and you should get continuity. If not, loosen 2 TPS retaining bolts and rotate until continuity has just barely been achieved. Semi tighten 2 TPS bolts.
Insert .006" (0.15mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and throttle lever. This should not break the continuity. If it does break continuity, slightly adjust TPS rotation again to regain the continuity. Insert the gauge in and out a few times to verify.
After confirming continuity with 0.15mm feeler gauge, insert a .020" (.50mm) feeler gauge. This should just barely break continuity. If not re-adjust TPS rotation again. Re-confirm by re-inserting feeler gauge.
In essence, continuity on initial connection to TPS.
Continuity with .15mm gauge inserted.
No continuity with .50mm gauge inserted.
Tighten down TPS retaining bolts.
Re-connect TPS connector.

Once you've adjusted the idle and or TPS let the car run for 15 minutes so the ECU can learn the new settings.

Idle Setting
Before adjusting remove the screw and ensure its clean and not damaged.
The screw on the top of the throttle body is what your looking for. Start by adjusting it about 3 turns out then start the engine. With the engine warmed up turn it in till the engine starts to die then gradually turn the screw out untill you read 650 RPM in Diag mode (Ten and Grd jumped). If you turn it too far out your engine will be less responsive so if it feels sluggish afterwards readjust the screw.
