Could have made that check myself, but frankly, once I'd done the adjustement this simple way, and it worked, I didn't care what the "spec" said. The idea came from buying a working inexpensive TPS and understanding how it works and what it does.
Mine continues to work just fine, after 8 months or so.

Was going to check those settings this weekend, but ran into a snag today. Went to start the vehicle and wouldn't start, turned over OK and acted like it wanted to start, but wouldn't. Checked ignitor, coil connections by removing and plugging back in. That didn't work, removed top of air cleaner (AFM) reached in and moved vane, it was OK then tried to start and it did. Got home and pulled one code (51). Not sure, but I think I may still have a TPS problem. No AC was on.
It's run fine since adjustment and last post date above using RDHarpers method of adjustment on TPS. It's actually ran better than it ever has since I have owned it, til today. Still runs, just this incident and code.
Not sure where to proceed from here.
Oh yeah, the above connections were cleaned and lubed due to similar incident awhile back from a similar code about something didn't receive rpm trigger for a period of time. Don't remember code, but the symptoms above were the same each time.
Mr. Harper, thanks for the education on TPS. It's never ran better and I think it could be possibly bad TPS at this point, waiting to hear some input on this latest development.
As I said, it runs fine now, but this is the second time it has acted this way in maybe 2 months.
