Hey peeps,

So, I'm going through my fuel injection system section by section and I'm at the throttle position switch.

I took out the throttle body, then took of the black plastic cap and I'm looking at the switch here. It starts out touching the contact on the right, then as I move the throttle spring, it goes past the center where it's not contacting anything - then eventually hits the contact on the left.

I checked the ohm meter and it starts out at OL then when I get to the other contact it's at 0 (so from what I understand - that's correct).

I'm just wondering if when it's disconnected like this - is it supposed to be touching the contact on the right side? Or is it supposed to be positioned in the center (not touching either side)?
