Default tps problems

i have a 98 dx y7 block y8 head running a p28 ecu. im having troubel with my tps sensor. i was doing some research and found a post saying on the dx models you have to switch the 2 outside wires on the tps so i did because before it would act as if i were hitting 2 step at 1500rpm now that i switched the two the car runs right except at WOT it dies i have checked the voltage and everything is good any suggestions?

if you tryed 2 different tps sensors and it had the same problem it is not your tps it is something else, change the wires back.

i know this isnt any help, but it might be worth a laugh. if you are having problems with your tps, it might be because you did not get the memo about the cover sheet for the tps report LOL.. if you dont get this.. go watch office space.
