Question How do you adjust the tps?

Well my car has lately been throwing a cloud of smoke in the afternoon when I start it? It wont do it in the morning but in the afternoon after it sits it has tough time starting and then followed by a cloud of white smoke so someone told me to adjust my tps but dont know how and cant find a thread so just wondering if some can help? Or wanted to know if this is the proper step in fixing my problem? I have a 87 na with 1500 miles on the engine can someone Help?

you know, i had the same problem before, and all i did was adjust the screw on top of the Throttle body. it's running too rich :P try that first. if it still does it, adjust the tps. it's found in the FSM or just search.
