I don't have time this second to type the whole process, but there may be a thread on here somewhere about setting your TPS voltage on your Throttle Body, using a voltage meter and elongating the holes and turning it to about .95- .98 VDC , it will help your throttle response.
There is more to it.....sorry have to get back to work but here is something I found doing a real quick search....
Try this... Currently there is some dispute about setting it at .99 volts being worth the effort, but anything less is probably OK. All you need is less than 1.0 volt at idle and more than 4.25 at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). Somewhere between .70 and .99 is the best range. You'll need a Digital Voltmeter (DVM) to do the job.
The Orange/White wire is the VREF 5 volts from the computer. You use the Dark Green/Lt green wire (TPS signal) and the Black/White wire (TPS ground) to set the TPS. Use a pair of safety pins to probe the TPS connector from the rear of the connector. You may find it a little difficult to make a good connection, but keep trying. Put the safety pins in the Dark Green/Lt green wire and Black/White wire. Make sure the ignition switch is in the Run position but the engine isn't running.
Here’s a TPS tip I got from NoGo50
When you installed the sensor make sure you place it on the peg right and then tighten it down properly. Loosen the back screw a tiny bit so the sensor can pivot and loosen the front screw enough so you can move it just a little in very small increments. I wouldn’t try to adjust it using marks.

1. Always adjust the TPS and Idle with the engine at operating temp. Dive it around for a bit if you can and get it nice and warm.
2. When you probe the leads of the TPS, do not use an engine ground, put the ground probe into the lead of the TPS. You should be connecting both meter probes to the TPS and not one to the TPS and the other to ground.
3. Always reset the computer whenever you adjust the TPS or clean/change any sensors. I just pull the battery lead for 10 minutes.
4. Check the procedure for your year, on my 90 I have to turn the idle screw until it just touches the tab, then insert a .010 feeler gauge and give it about one more turn.
hey i have a 1990 stang lx with the 5.0 302 as u prob know but i want it to get alittle faster with out buying anything...just to tweek it a bit....so far ive got the following in it
cobra upper n lower intake
24 lb fuel inject.
cold air with mass air flow
flowmasters 40 series with straight pipes
racing suspen.
msd distrib. timed at about 12 to 14
its not alot but its quick as hell believe it or not
if anyone can help me or give me some ideas that would be greatly apperciated
