you can adjust it by loosening up the holders on it and move it, i would not suggest doing this as it will probably mess up your settings and the car will not run properly.

It sounds like you already have the answer and just want some reassurance.The throttle position sensor should not be "adjusted" it should be replaced. This is relatively inexpensive and simple to do.To find it just look at your throttle body,this is where you can "rev" the vehicle from under the hood,and you will find it right there!Email me and let me know how this works for you my email is janderson0574@hotmail.com
