Default Could I have the wrong TPS?

I bought a new tps and stupidly binned the old one as it was damaged.

I've fitted the new one and seems to be correct however i'm adjusting it to the correct voltage .45 closed and 5 open. I have to turn the TPS beyond the screw holes to get it to read .45. If bolted on it reads way below .45. The TPS reads .02 if its fully closed.

Are there multiple types of TPS for the B16A? Or does the throttle need to be adjusted as well? If i open the throttle a few degree's i can get the TPS to read .45 and the bolt holes to match up.

confused!!

Okay so that would mean the closed throttle position would need adjusting. Can that be done?

Are you making sure the plastic "prong" of the TPS is going between the brass "prongs" of the TB

Wow thanks for the pic. speaks a million words when you cant see down the back of the TB. hopefully i have it on the wrong side of it causing it to be out.

remember the idea is to get the tps within those grooves, so what if the bolt hole dont line up at first, you can turn the sensor to match the bolt holes after

tb gaskets are pretty cheap, you can save the gasket with a razor
