it signals the ecu how much voltage there is at various throttle postions. if its advanced to much youll have alot of low end if its back to much you wont have low end. check this then see what else could be off. check your dist to make sure its right

ok, get a volt meter, connect the positive lead goes to the green wire coming form the tps, and the negatice goes to a good ground, just loosen the two screws hlding the tps down and turn it till it reads .99 volts which is optimum cehck it again once u tighten back up
