Default Finally joined VTPS club, calibration numbers, TPS AE

Finally wired up the 94 VTPS to my MS3x. I've got an issue and a couple questions.

What kind of numbers are normal for throttle %? I tried messing with the calibration numbers and right now it doesn't go above 7% closed throttle, but if I snap it and let go, the number sits at -50% or so. WOT is at about 170%. I don't know how relevant this is, or if the MS just looks for a low number vs a high number. closed throttle ADC = 670, WOT ADC = 850. I shaved some off the top and added some to the lower number. How important is this really? I searched and found that some people experienced this, but the difference isn't as big as mine.

Also, now that I have a functioning VTPS, does anyone want to share their time based accel enrichment settings? I've had it to 100% MAP 0% TPS (for obvious reasons), and now I don't know what everyone uses/what would be a good idea. I was going to just leave it at 50/50 for now unless someone has better luck with different numbers.

Congrats! normal 0-100% if calibrated properly. For example my air pedal likes adc counts: 72 closed and 846 open.

670 looks very high for closed count.

The problem is my calibration numbers will change drastically depending on if the car is running or off when I do the calibration, and will change just from snapping the throttle a few times to completely different numbers.

In for any helpful information. Mine's wired up but seems to have a lot of signal noise.

Mine sits around 120 for min and 930 for max.

Alright, so I'm going to finish this thread so that there isn't 1000 of these threads with no ******* solution at the end.
Braineack pretty much said what I'm going to say below in some random thread that I never found so it can't hurt if I post it a second time.

These directions:

"For a '94-'97 TPS, assuming you have a pigtail for the new 4-wire TPS, splice the red / black wire of the TPS to the red wire of the car's harness. Splice the green / white wire of the TPS to the green / white wire of the car's harness. Splice the black / blue wire of the TPS to the black / green wire of the car's harness. The red wire of the TPS will be unused."

ARE INCORRECT FOR MS3x. (and probably for a lot of other megasquirts)

The correct way:
Splice black/blue from TPS to black/green of car
Splice Red/black from TPS to green/white of car
Splice green/white from TPS to red of car.

TPS numbers are perfect now.
