Tps issues

Upon puttining in a new tps I can't get the correct ohm reading at wot. Fully closed I got .8 but at wot I get 2.6. My manual is calling for 3-10 at wot. I tried to adjust the set screw but to no avail, so I took the tps back to autozone they tested it an said it was fine. Please help

Did you try measuring the resistance VTA-E2 with the TPS off the truck? If you can get the full spec resistance (3.3k-12.1k ohms), then the problem is not with the TPS, but you may have something bent in your throttle linkage.

What happened at Autozone? Did they measure the part with an ohmmeter?

I would check the wiring coming to the TPS to make sure it wasn't being 'slightly' shorted somewhere along the line... I'd check them for continuity and resistance. I believe you can test the voltage coming to the TPS. I believe there is a tutorial, check youtube.
