Default skunk 2 throttle body & TPS issue

so its a proseries 70mm throttle body when trying to install the tps into the notch on the throttle body the way it fits is so offset that the bolts dont line up so i rotate the tps to where the bolts will line up and cannot get the tps to hold a set voltage it bounces around .02 to .04 off i have tried 2 tps in it with no success im wondering if anyone knows if its like that on theirs. im beginning to think it is a defective one or maybe it can be rotated if i disassemble it. i found some pics of a stock one being done and the bolts line up with the notch

yeah ive messed with every screw on it to try and getting to hold a voltage the only other thing i can think is i had to cut and weld the bracket for the throttle cable so it would clear the hood without rubbing but im at a loss i might just buy another see what it is like

try with no cable connected to disregard the cable as an issue

are the other sensors getting voltage movement as well ...

sorry no pic, no cable doesnt help but its almost steady now it bounces from .25 to .27 which isnt to big of deal. but my primary suspect is throttle body it almost sticks a little bit when completely shut think it might not have been machined perfect.

<p>There are these awesome things called junk yards, where you can get used parts for stupidly cheap. &nbsp;Try it.</p>

They are free technically. The "rule" at junkyards is if it fits in your pocket then it's free lol.

<p>Not a single thing you've shat out on these forums gives us any reason to believe that you need an oversized TB. &nbsp;Get a stock unit, or if you insist on needing aftermarket, get something that isn't ****. &nbsp;Go through the old posts around here, and you'll see a long history of Junk2 TBs being absolute ****.</p>
