Default TPS issue

the TPS should read what .9-.99V, mine will only go to a max of like .66v no matter how i adjust the contacts, all wires are good no cuts or anything. Should i try cleaning the contacts with brakeclean(theres no rust or anything) or try and find another TPS sensor and splice it into the harness? It doesnt affect drivability or hesitate for now but I'm wondering once i upgrade and eventually need say 42LB injectors with all that fuel I should get the ECU reading the right voltage for WOT. any ideas?

just get a new one and save the receipt, they are only like $25, put it on and if it still wont read higher take it back. no money lost

just drill out the holes (elongate them) so that your range of adjustment is increased.
