Default TPS Says Throttle is Open Without Pushing Pedal

i'm tryin to finish tuning my truck(03 z71) seein how i'm in the middle of donig some work to the car(95 ls1 swapped camaro) using HPTuners. i've noticed with the tuck that i'm still showing a throttle percentage even when the gas pedal isnt being pushed down. and i also noticed that i cant get 100% throttle no matter how hard i push. is there something messed up with the calibration or do i need to get a new sensor? also, is there a way(cause it seems like its doing it no matter what) that the actual throttle blade will move as much as i push the pedal? it has the ETC and it just seems like it basically puts the throttle wherever it feelis like it.

Pull the plug out of the TPS sensor. With the plug out, stick the key in the ingition and turn the key forward to run (don't try to start the car). Leave it like that for 10 or 15 seconds. Take the key out and plug in the TPS sensor again.
