I have just set my MAF which was on 1.2 v anyway so just tweaked it to the suggested 1.3 v and went to do the TPS but I am getting strange readings.With the ignition turned to on without engine running I am getting a reading of 4.3 volts and then gradually drops off to 0 volts with the throttle fully open.I am getting a good reading of 5 volts going in when testing the red power in.My multi meter is working fine as everything I have been doing with it lately is fine.What is going on here.:confused:
Thanks
Shane :)

Thanks nigelbuilding1984,adjusted it yesterday and worked beautifully.Positive from multi meter to green wire and earth to to ground on body.Had to slot TPS a little to get a bit more movement.Hope this helps others with a Disco 1 as most posts on this guide you a bit differently with the multi meter probe set up.My Disco is a 94 update 3.9.
Cheers
