Default New TPS sensor needed?

Voltage at closed throttle is varying and keeping it from entering idle mode.

New TPS?
New Holley 90mm EFI TB?

It's got a fast 92, 92mm Nitrious outlet plate, and a PTM 92mm TB on it now. I guess I'll first try a new TPS and if that don't work, go with the Holley?

Thoughts on taking the TPS off, oblong the holes where hte screws go into the TPS, and shave the nipple on the TPS so that it can be rotated to bring it back to proper voltage with TB closed?

Surely I'm not the only one that's had this problem.....someone chime in.

Try to do the relearn first and see if it resets.

Unplug TPS
Key on for 5 seconds
Key off
Plug back in TPS
and then check the reading. If it is still not correct then the sensor is going out. Mine has correct voltage but threw codes and reads % incorrectly, so I will be replacing mine.

I tried that with the one on it now. I will try it with the new one, but if that doesn't work, I don't just want to throw money at a new TB, cable, etc.
