Can't get TPS to read the correct voltage

I have been messing with my idle for the past couple of days and finally got the issue with the IAC straightened out. The car will idle fine now but I have a problem with the TPS. Since I adjusted (lowered) the minimum idle, I havn't been able to get the TPS back to .54 volts. It just runs out of room for adjustment. I can move the sensor down a good bit to lower the voltage but the highest I can get it to read is .51 volts. I can't move the sensor any higher to obtain the correct reading. Is my sensor just bad (why would it go bad by only adjusting the minimum idle) or is there a way to zero it out or reset it? Thanks

I just asked this same question from what I was told and since read you can't adjust TPS on 90-92 SD.I too have a 91Z.Looking at my TPS I couldn't see to move it didn't have any kind of slots by the bolts to allow it to move up or down.Maybe I'm missing something let me know

I realize that it doesn't really matter but it's just the fact that there is definitely something wrong somewhere if I can't get it to read properly. I'd like to set it to .58-.60 but I can't even get it up to factory spec.

Ok I guess mine isn't adjustable. I'll check the TPS when I get home to see if it reset itself. Should it be at .54 or .71 volts? I thought it was supposed to be .54
