Default tps readings

i finally got around to checking the voltage from my TPS today. When i wired up the multimeter to pins 11 and 17 i got a reading of 4.95v with no throttle, when i pressed it gently it slowly and smootly decreased in voltage but on WOT it only went down to 1.3v?!

I also noted that if i do it from the engine bay and move the throttle by hand winding it as far as it can go it does drop to about .5v ish!!! which is obviously what its supposed 2 read.

Could a worn/stretched throttle cable be the cause of the problem or something else possibly?!! bit confused!!

PS ive undone the screws holding the tps in place and let it return to where its happy which gave a resistance reading of 1 which is pretty much spot on!!

Cheers

Tony
