you mean its reading over 1v?

just loosen the screws and twist it a little. the stock one doesnt have a huge range of adjustability tho

cant hurt to try. will take you a whole 5minutes to find out. just hook up the multimeter, loosen the two screws just enough for the sensor to be loose and give it a shot. i did a buddies tps which was off and it had anough range so that i could dial it in for him.

As long as it's below 1.19 vdc, and no TPS related failure codes show up in a KOEO/KOER self-test ..... no need to adjust it. Its working range w/out causing a failure code is .5 - 1.19 vdc (.7 - 1.0 vdc is optimum).
