will that .1% make a differance, i am still having a issue with the Throttle cutting out, holding the pedal when this happens trac lights come on.i did change my tps,even
removed my tps from my tundra just to make sure i didin't get a defective part,same part number is used.

Why are you replacing the TPS? I don't know what book you are reading or getting the info from but the spec on TPS is 14.4-16 %. Have fun replacing it and don't strip the bottom screw

Mitchell repair manual is not 100% correct sometimes. You will need to get the lexus service manuals.

This is the information 14.4-16% of throttle. Lock it down and call it a day. What other info do you need?
