The diagrams at www.slhondaparts.com should help. I just walked outside
and opened the hood of my CR-V. Reached behind the throttle body,
squeezed the connector and slipped it off the TPS. Without bending over
very far I can feel three pins with my finger. Put your (extension)
leads on the center one and either of the others. When you rotate the
throttle plate by hand you'll see you meter needle swing offscale when
you hit cruise speed (probably about 2,600 RPM?).

Don't use a digital meter unless it has a good analog bar graph.

The original CR-V _does_ have lots of room under the hood.
