Question: why does my throttle reading indicates 84% at WOT?

Im using a bluetooth elm327 reader with torque obd2 app.
Im wondering why does it read 84% open throttle at WOT...it that normal, part of the oem tune? Is that why some have ported body throttle? And also is reading at 18% on idle...

It is reading the position of the Throttle Position Sensor, not your pedal. GM builds in some room in the sensor for calibration, manufacturing differences in sensors ect. Normal. If it goes to 0 or 100% it''ll set a code. That's how it can check itself. It knows the extremes are abnormal.

I'm sure your throttle blade is 100% open at 84% TPS

See what it reads before you start the engine. Should be around 23%

TPS or pedal position sensor? Just curious.

My TPS is 18-20% at idle and 84% at WOT. Info on the HPTuners forum says 84% is wide open fwiw.

I can go into engineering mode on my car and see throttle position. I can manually move the blade with my finger and it will change % on the dash display.
