Can't find any info on how to do this. I've noticed the older models the TPS is just 2 switches that tell the computer which state (idle, cruise, WOT) the throttle is in and not a variable resistor type setup. Are the current ones the same? If so I can use the same adjustment procedure, dealer wants $50 to do this. Also have a code P0401 and found info on cleaning out the EGR port on this site, keep up the good work!
Any help appreciated.

you will no tbe able to adjust the TP sensor there is no possible adjustment on it however there is a possible adjustment on the accelorator pedal position sensor and it is not something you should attempt without a scan tool that is capable of displaying the APP % if you do have access to one it shoul be set at 11%

Actually it is the accelerator pedal position sensor that I need to adjust I think, The computer had code P1275, just an improper use of terms on my part. Do you have a procedure for this? I have OBDII software on my laptop but I'll have to check to see if it gives me that value.

Is APP the same as ATP (Absolute Throttle Position)? My diagnostic software displays this value in percent (%). Also I reviewed a small session that I recorded and compared it to a recording of my 01 Dakota. The ATP on my Dakota would rise and fall with RPM (makes sense seeing as how it's monitoring throttle position), however the ATP gave me almost no reading on the Rodeo when RPM went up. The Dakota reading was about 14.9% at idle, the Rodeo reading was 0%. Is the sensor bad or does it need adjustment? And how do I adjust it?
