[Diy_efi] TPS Specs / PN's

[Clair Davis]

I guess at some point, I'd do myself a favor if I learned something about op
amps and other little electronic widgets I could make myself, but I know
squat about them at the moment.  I still have my "Principles & Applications
of Electrical Engineering" text, but only because it was so full of errata
that the bookstore wouldn't buy it back after that semester...

I'd really prefer to have a PN/application that I could ask for at any given
parts store should the thing fail out in BFE.
