There is a table in the eprom that you can set at what %TPS the engine goes into Power Enrichment (the ECM's term for WOT).

This %TPS varies over various RPMs but for most cars, the ECM is in PE/WOT @ 70% TPS.

I personally like setting the %TPS to engage PE a little lower. Depending on the RPM range, I engage PE from 65% (lower rpm) to 45% (higher rpm).

Right now, your TPS sounds about normal. Don't believe this BS that you need 4.5+ volts to engage PE. It just isn't true. It's completely conrolled in the eprom and if you want to change it, that is the place.
