where the throttle cable is, usually

Yes, but if there is alot of miles on your rig I would replace it,also check your butterfly shaft that hooks to it for play.

8V TPS is not a smooth sweep on the
Ohm meter, it's more of a switch that
tells the computer when you are off idle
and at WOT, so don't expect to see a
meter reading like a Pot would show

I think that only thevery early models had that arrangement. Mines an 8V and mine has a pot and an idle switch, FSM shows it as a pot too. You can see in the pic below that there are 4 wires, Jap models have 5 wires




You can test it with an ohmmeter, although I found that the wire colours on mine don't match those shown in the FSM. Have you looked at the diagnostic stuff here:
