I noticed when I set mine to be the EXACT readings the instructions said to be the 3>4 shift was too early and affected the whole power range. I ended up adjusting the setting (by turning the 10mm nut under the TPS) to make it do the 3>4 the way I wanted it to. I took those instructions as a guide, but not the ONLY way to set it.

Stock wiring,
Black/light blue tracer = Ground
Orange = wiper or output
violet/white tracer = +5 V

The violet tends to fade, and might be what you think is tan. In that case, you're measuring from +5v instead of ground.
