I think mine is fudged up, ever since my 75 mm TB went on. The Nitrous has a wot switch but mine comes on at half throttle. Haven't used it because of that. J/w what to do, I took mine off and when I shake it it makes a rattling sond so I got a new one.

It should be around .95-99, but not above 1.0 volts. The is a adjustment for the throttle plate, and it also adjusts the tps.

Use the center wire, and the ground wire to set the voltage. The other wire will have a 5 volt signal on it. The use the adjustment on the side of the TB.

Another test you can do is to use an ohm meter and probe the terminals [the terminals on the TPS, not the wires] on the TPS that correspond to the brown/white and grey/white terminal wires [I think thats right,if memory serves correctly] Slowly rotate the throttle shaft and monitor for a continuous, steady change in resistance. Any sudden jumps or irregularities in resistance indicates a malfunctioning sensor.
