yes ther is a set up to be done on the tps but a engine set up no and is a cunt of a job because you need a very short screw driver to get to the 2 littel screws

if you dont set it up how is the ecu to know when you have WOT?
you can normally set it up using a volt meter set on ohms, but i dont know what the readings are!
ford efi engines i belive reset themselves when you replace the tps.
