TPS PROBLEM...is it time to get a new one?

[RFcool]

What up guys. I have a problem with that damn sr20det engine. lol. Anyhow, i have a couple of other threads with problems that ive gone over on this car. But im having a problem with the TPS i believe. My car is having rough/idle/backfire issues atm. Ive gone in and cleaned the IACV and gave it a new gasket. Checked all my injectors and voltage on each. They all read 12v. Got new plugs gapped at .35. And now i was trying to set my TPS according to some specs/stats that i found online. Says the TPS is supposed to read at .45v. The problem im having is that when i put the red pin in the middle plug and ground the blad it only reads .14. WTF? Anyhow i adjust it while im trying to read the voltage and nothing at all changes. So i plug it back in car changes idle, i unplug and car is at higher idle. Than i turn it off, put it to accesories on and try to read it again unplugged middle prong...and again i have .14v. Does that mean i have a faulty TPS and if so would a faulty TPS give me backfire/idle issues? Thanks

the voltage is only to adjust your tps, you want to check ohms to make sure its good...

check the resistance between pin 1 and 2

Completely closed Approx. 2 ohms

Completely open Approx. 10 ohms

If test shows "No Good", replace Throttle Sensor.

you're probably reading the supply voltage, you're looking for voltage drop or resistance

so... wtf happened? Was it bad or not?
