There is a difference between the two TPS'. If you have a 90 then you'll need one from an 89-91 car.

S5s have a dual TPS sutup, where as S4s have a POS single TPS that reads 100% throttle when you have the gas pushed down 1/3 of the way.

I had this problem too, the easy way to fix it is to get an autometer and clamp it onto the wire comming out of the tps and play with the screw unitll it is set to 1 volt at idle, that is where it is supposed to be programmed to. Hope this helps

Hey is there a way that this same technique can be done if you have a Haltech computer but are using the stock s5 tps.

with a haltech you just go to calibrate throttle and follow the instructions on the screen, you can confirm the proper adjustment by watching the engine data page, observing the throttle position %age while you go from idle to WOT with yer foot...
