TPS voltage is reading backwards
Alright ya know how you test the tps with a voltmeter and its .54v at idle and increases to about 4.5v at WOT?? well my buddies car is doing the exact opposite, reading 4.7 volt at idle and decreasing to .8v at WOT. Hes been having problems with a dead spot so i decided to check the tps, we switched it to two diff ones and same thing happens. could it be something wrong with the harness??

yeah im not fully understanding what that guy was trying to say. I also read that i should try switching the wires. How the hell could they got reversed in the first place is a mystery, ill do that tommorow morning and see what happens.
