Default tps finally set

i finally got my tps set right, someone explanded it a little better for me, its easy after you figure it out, i had it close it was 97.6 and that was set by how i thought it ran and sounded, so i was not far off lol, now im happy, i just was wondering how much dose the tps have to to with air fuel ratio? and if it was lower would that make it leaner or richer?

Not sure on the mixture but the tps is one or is the most vital part of the mixture sensors..
It has everything to do with the mixture when you are idling or giving it throttle... Without it the computer wouldnt know how much throttle you are giving the throttle body...

Ya it should be fine i have mine around 800-900... With that cam im not surprised it idles high.... My E303 doesnt want to let the car idle under 800rpm... Not sure why but every time it want to die... I think it is because i have the stock pump and regulator (meaning not enough fuel flow/fuel pressure)... Not sure but i guessi will find out tomarrow when i install the BBK 190lph and reg....

I have the stock cam and also my car likes to die if I get it around 800rpms or so. I keep the idle at 1K.
