5v when the cars ignition is in the on position.. w/ engine off. signal voltage at idle should be around 1v and go up as you add throttle. full throttle you should be around 4.5v .

when your testing the v's do you have spikes?

TPS is not adjustable, may need replacement

Well of the 3 1 ground 1 reference 1 signal... maybe wait to see who else posts. Is there a chance the wires may be shorting out or misconnected?
