Default Is our TPS adjustable or can I get another TPS?

I believe I need a new TPS and don't think the one on our car is adjustable. Is it? Or do I just need to somehow remove the factory screws, adjust it and put removable screws? Any help will be appreciated.

The factory screws are tamperproof, and you have to cut the head off to remove them. Even so, you can't buy a TPS sensor on it's own.

Why do you think your current TPS is faulty?

My idle fluctuates from 1.5k to 1.7k. I went to Autozone so they can read the codes and it gave 3 different codes, MAP(P0108), TPS(P0122) and Intake Man. runner control(P1519). First I tought is was a MAP problem, but after putting a new one nothing changed. So I just took a look at the TPS and the input is a solid 5V but the output is .23V when the tb is close and 4.7V when fully open. To my understanding that is a bit low. Hopefully I'm in the rigth path. Let me know what you think.

Autozone incorrectly defined the P1519. It's IAC electrical malfunction, not Intake manifold runner control. (which no S2k has ever had)

Chances are you've got a faulty IAC. Which DTC recodes?

Where in the IM is the IAC at and how do I test it? I keep getting 0-3, 0-7, 1-0, 1-4. Thanks for the help.

Sorry, I don't keep up with flash codes. The IAC is bolted to the manifold behind the throttle body.

What's happening? Uh... we have sort of a problem here. Yeah. You apparently didn't put one of the new cover sheets on your TPS reports.
