TPS Reading....help!!

I'm adjusting my TPS cause idle is horrible. at throttle closed I get a reading of 0.88k ohm but at WOT I only get a reading of 1.12k ohm. I can't adjust my idle reading anymore cause the adjustment screw is all the way down. Bad TPS? I have extra one I going to try. BTW 87 TII. Thanks

I'm pretty sure you should have like 4k OHMS at WOT. 4-6k or something like that. Sounds like your TPS is shot.

For my NA it's 1k ohm at idle, and 4-6k ohm at WOT. Swap it and see if the new one works.

and I tried another TPS, same results. I think it's time to get a new DMM. I think I'll also try using checker lights aswell.
