I suppose people are a bit confused about what you actually want.

 

I "tuned" the engine in my missus SX (4AGE) by feel and experience. If something wasnt right, pull up tinker about, off for another lap of the block.

 

Timed it by ear/feel to get it running after the rebuild, checked the timing a week later with a timing light and was spot on.

 

TPS I just adjusted until it no longer affected the idle (so in co-operation with changing idle setting while the car is warm)

 

I HATE electronic injection with a passion, but the basics can all be adjusted to suit the engine as you go.

 

Pull the plugs out, check the colour of the tip, dark-black colour shows the engine is running rich, a mediocre grey/light brown colour points to the engine running clean, white plugs mean its running lean.

 

Pull the oxygen sensor out and check the colour of it, should be a light-mid tone brown grey colour, black means rich again in this case.

 

Anyone with half a brain and basic mechanical knowledge should be able to adjust a few sensors and an idle screw without people holding their hand.

 

I'm not sure if you are chasing electrical readouts (as in what sort of resistance this sensor should read at what sort of revs etc)

Just do what everyone else does and go get a Manual for it from the auto parts shop and get started. Noone will spoonfeed you every tidbit you want in a time frame that suits you. Dissing the members of the forum isn't a good idea if you want to make friends and get help from people.
