I just bought this tps but I think its messed up too. It's probably a month old, but the first day I bought it I was adjusting it as far to the left as I could get because I was getting a higher reading. In fact I left the front screw out(still keeping it flush with the top of the throttle body). Well, I took it for a test drive, got on it , and the throttle stuck wide open...doh!! Well, looking under the TPS now I see that the plastic teeth are chewed up. It must have been from that little blade that sits underneath it. So would those teeth being messed up give a different result when using the voltmeter?
I stuck a sewing pin through the green wire, and a pin through, the black wire. Hooked the two volt meter wires up accordingly, turned the ignition on. After moving the tps side to side, the best reading I could get was a .6. When I would give it WOT, there wasnt much(if any)change in the numbers. SHould they go up or down at WOT?
BY the way, I got a new ETC sensor and put that on. The car runs good but still doesnt have the pull I'm looking for..like it did have.
Hopefully once this tps problem is solved things will be better. Once again, thank you for the help
