Default Tps help

My throttle sensor keeps changing values I have to adjust it all the time it's new but think its junk? I set it at .5 volts drove it checked it read .2 set it again drove it checked it 1.2 set it again drove it checked it .08. The throttle body and intake are both skunk2 alpha series. The engine is fully built inside out. The check engine light some times comes on but not always but ecu always, always flashes a tps code. The tps is new..... I'm guessing its bad when I set it it runs fine after I drive it half hour-hour it picks up a hunting idle. I shrug that off and it develops a random cut off. It's always running rich help my brain hurts

Take your car to get tuned, it sounds like a TPS adjustment needs to made on the ECU, I'm sure that "chip" you have has some wack adjustments made.

Sorry to hear about your bored pistons. I had a lazy set one, they didn't work out very well. It's best to purchase a set that has a lot going for it, particularly the ambitious ones.

Might I remind the OP that google does work and I just found the solution to your problem.

However this has created another issue, as I am at work, I expect to get paid for my efforts. If you want the answer, you need to pay me.

Rico .5 - 4.5 is the correct range... it doesn't sound like a bad TPS, it sounds like a bad tune.

But don't listen to me, what the **** do I know, I've only built like 10 Hondas.
