Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - What could cause multiple TPS's to go bad? (S4 n/a)

I'll try it again tomorrow and double check everything, but when I adjusted my first TPS with the same multimeter it worked fine, until the TPS crapped out for no reason a while later. The part I find weird is that 1) my first TPS went bad for absolutely no reason and 2) one of the TPS's that wouldn't work on my car tested good at the dealer. It just seems fishy to me. I appreciate all your help, can you elaborate on the voltage method so I can try that out too?
