TPS voltage fluctuation

i was adjusting some stuff on my TPI motor and i was using a OTC scanner to read the TPS voltage and i adjusted it to .54 walked away and came back to it at 1.04 and this happened like 4 times, so basicly im asking why do you guys think the voltage keep changing? should i just go get a new TPS?
