do i need to cover the wire with electrical tape, after i pierce it to get the reading
Only if that makes you feel better. - I think I can get the probes of my multimeter into the back of the plug without piercing anything, so it might be worth trying to see if you can do that too.

Anyone help me out on this? :lol:
its pretty simple just stab the red multi meter wire through the middle wire on the TPS and stab the black wire through the earth wire. slacken the 2 bolts on the TPS, then turn the engine on. then move the TPS to adjust volt Reading when you have reading u want tighter the bolts back up

Yes. As long as the ignition was on.
