TPS settings keep changing?

Ok, came up with another problem, my TPS settings keep changing. Had the car tuned a couple weeks ago, anf it was set about 32%, and I wasnt getting the * confirming a correct setting. Looked at it today before I went to check my emissions, and no * again. Adjusted it down, and now its showing a * on 27, 28, and 29.

Any ideas to why its moving around, and also which setting should I use when showing the *, the high, low, or middle number?

You need to set the tps with the car warmed up. After driving around, set the tps and it should never move from there

I had the same problem and what I found that worked the best was putting a nut on the other side of the TPS adjusting screw. Once I did that the TPS always stayed where I put it.
