Whats the correct way of doing the setting? and where the extra 0.3V from???
What are the chances that solenoid A going bad? According Trevor's tech articles(BTW, thanks Trevor) its pretty common???. It could be the case because the car was sitting in a junk yard for over 4 years with unknown codition ATF in the trany and could be all cake up inside
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions and please keep them coming.

Please help yourself and read the advice previously presented and which has taken some time to compile. Therein it is suggested that you read the how too instructions.

I gather you mean 0.03 volts, rather than 0.3 volts as causing confusion. Obviously there is a small resistance in the electrical path from battery negative to the throttle body. The very small discrepancy is of no concern. The manual quotes a figure of 0.45 - 0.55 volts.

You must properly investigate the most likely causes established on a logical basis, first. Further suggestions of obscure possibilities will lead things even further off course. It is now up to you.
