Default running without TPS plugged in?

Hey i heard someone say they tired unplugging the TPS and unplugging the battery to let the computer reset its self. Its said to give you better throttle responce..does it really do that and is it safe? i heard of adjusting it to .98 volts but not unplugging it. Im gonna give it a try. i have a 94 gt and, just gonna see what happends. Is it saft though?? let me know what you guys think

dont unplug the tps. the computer wont know what to do. set it to .98

as for reseting the computer, you should do it after each mod so the computer can learn about the new parts. if you havent done anything to your car, reseting it wont do anything
