FWIW, unless you've been in an accident, your TPS setting shouldn't change. What you really want to test when checking the TPS is the condition of the rheostat. The best method for doing that is to disconnect the TPS harness, and connect your test leads the same way you do when measuring volts, only set it to ohms. This works best with a DMM that has a bar graph, but even without one, it still works. Rotate the thottle slowly, and make sure the value only goes up while opening, and only goes down while closing, the throttle. If the values jump around at all, replace the TPS.
Take care,
