PF01 TPS is a potentiometer with a switch so with no throttle it is open circuit, it should read around 0.5V at WOT obviously giving a higher valve up until 5V of course the further closed the throttle is. Check between pins 11 and 17.
Easiest way to test is with it still on car, from the ECU connector (You may need an assistant to operate the throttle while you use meter) although is do able by yourself.

Sorry mate, I have just bought the car today and up until today, I have only tested it when cold, standing still. The hunting and light throttle problem, only came to light whilst on the way home. So I check between pins 11 and 17 with the ignition turned on and engine off??
Also, take a look at these pictures... the car doesnt seem to have an amal valve fitted, and the actuator is plumbed straight into the turbo housing. Not sure if this makes a difference to anything ??
