adjusting a pre 90 TPS

FSM (factory service manual) describes a good DVM method. I learned it's best to perform that adjustment after a good cleaning and adjustment of the TP (throttle plate). With the IAC fully closed and disabled adjust warm engine TP for about 600-700RPM idle. Reconnect IAC and follow the FSM procedure for your transmission type.
 
For an 87-90 4.0:

Test is done with throttle closed, connectors connected, ignition on, engine off. Insert probes through back of connectors to make readings. Use a high impedance meter. Adjust TPS by loosening mounting screws and turning in mount.

For manual connect + probe to terminal A, and - to B. Take a reading, which should be in vicinity of 5 volts but probably lower. Note the reading well. Now move the positive probe to terminal C. The reading should be 16 percent of the previous reading.

For Automatic, use the square, 4-terminal plug. Connect probe + to terminal A, and - to D. Note reading, which should be in vicinity of 5 volts. Now move probe + to terminal B. This reading should be 82 % of the first.

This is a condensation of info from a factory TSB. I suggest you copy it out and keep it handy.
