On cold start my TPS is at (2%) .55 volts and the idle fluctuates during warm up. After warm up the TPS is at (3%) .57 volts

according to this:

it should be at .45 volts (0%) or less. How do I asjust it. I have the s200 with data logging.

Thanks

it's toward the bottom of that page.

but basically you need to loosen it and rotate it like distributor to change the voltage it sends

Question: my TPS appears to be riveted in. To adjust it should I drill the rivets and replace with screws/bolts? Will I need to tap the holes if I use screws/bolts?

You don't need to drill it out. All you need to do is to cut a slit on top of the two round top screws. Then remove the screws with a flat blade screwdriver.

You can cut slots in the heads of the "rivets" (they are actually specially made bolts on which the head breaks off once a certain torque is reached), and use them as screws. Use a Dremel and cut a slot. If the TB can easily be taken out of the car, you can also use a hacksaw.
