Message	Let's say you measure your TPS voltage and you *think* you have a good reading, but your meter is off by 25%. Some of the cheaper meters are off by at LEAST that much. Not every voltage you have to measure in the car is large magnitude. This goes for resistance too. What if your meter is off by even 20 percent and you're ohming out your injector coils? A properly calibrated, QUALITY meter will pay for itself over the long run. "So I nailed it, took off like an F18 from carrier.
