Default 2wd TPS readings

Right going on someone elses thread about tps readings thought i'd check mine, was told to use pins 1 and 17 to get the readings but wasnt getting anything at all just open circuit so was a bit stumped till i remembered i had a workshop manual in the cupboard
Read that and doesnt say use pins 30/17/11

With multimeter set to 2k ohms i got:

with it on pins 30 and 17 (what the manual says to use)

open circuit with no throttle applied
touching throttle slightly .95
roughly half throttle .225
full throttle .410



on pins 11 and 30

compelete sensor track resistance of .480


Are those about right?! and also was setting it on 2k ohms the right one to use?!

Trying to work out why i was getting a slight hesistation when i was pulling away/touching throttle after changing gear, was only slight but enough to be annoying. Unfortunatly i changed the old tps without testing it first for another one so these are the readings for the one on there now!!!
Oddly for the first time in over 1k running in miles it also started to run on 3 cylinders cleaned the plugs up and seems to run on 4 again so hoping it was just a miss hap, will take it out fro a drive again when the rains stops coming down lol.

Cheers
