Default adjusting tps on BDL 70 mil

ok so i have this problem that wasnt a big problem till recently. i have a bdl 70 mil and the furthest adjustment that i can make on the tps is only about half as far as it needs to go for it to be at 0. is there a way to adj it on the inside of the tb or something else i can do? ill be looking at it more tonight so any help would be great.

0 = .45 - .55v

are you sure the nub on the rotor is correctly seated between the prongs on the throttle rotor?

ya im sure its seating correctly, it will only allow me to put it in one spot. its starting to be a problem cuz every now and them on a stop to go i bogs like it does when you accidently forget to reconnect the tps sensor lol. but then i restart the car and its fine.

*edit* thanks for the voltage readings ill check those out

The tps itself has ovular openings so you can loosen both nuts and turn it, that adjusts it....

Do you guys know why the helms says you cannot remove the TPS or replace it alone. It says you should replace the throttle body and the TPS as a whole. When i got my Type-S motor, some one removed the TPS sensor and it was just dangling there, dumb foks. Anyways, i put it back on to where i believed it was right and i have never had any problems. I should check the voltage but its is running perfect.
