TPS not reading 100 at WOT

It seems that my TPS is only reading 92.8% at WOT. Has anyone else had this problem and did a new TPS fix the issue?

It could be your throttle cable....but I always thought that at WOT, it never hits 100, always somewhere in the 90's

What if you have someone floor the car(with it off) and you see if u can pull up the throttle cable from the engine bay a little bit more..? Would that work to find out.. hehe

It reads 92.8 when I hold the throttle plate wide open by hand. The cable is adjusted properly and also allows the TB to be wide open when floored. The TPS is simply not reading 100 when it should be.

when you go WOT, the butterfly plate will face the throttle perpendicularly. the volume of the butterfly plate it'll block some of the air induction to the engine. therefore it won't be 100% at WOT...unless you remove the butterfly plate.

As far as I know, the sensor will still read 100% because it's 100% of what the TB can actually do and it's WOT. Correct me if I'm wrong on this though.
