Also thanks for the tho links, that helped a lot jdvalero had a low voltage code, so the pin in question was actually the leftmost one, ( +5v ) i think, if it makes bad contact it will open and the voltage will go low.
He correctly states that he THINKS the one he poins at is suspect but it is not.
I like to thank him for taking the picture and posting the fix!
The way the tps connector is installed bothers me a bit, the small wires may be under stress, so it's also a suspect in my opinion and if anyone has a look at theirs be advised to not force the connector in the tps, it should connect fairly easy, if not the contacts could end up mis-aligned and to provide some room in the wiring the tank needs to be lifted and the plastic cover removed with a philips screwdriver.
i also like to stress that trying to adjust the tps by rotating it is not recommended at all unless a very good understanding is achieved on how to proceed, pogun advised this and i would like to repeat his wise words.
Thanks all for the input max
Rotating is for initial (0.5 vdc throttle closed) calibration when replacing.
If the center position is not outputting 0.5 vdc throttle closed, I'd check the increased voltage for linearity as it is opened, as well as 4.5 vdc WOT.
As for intermittent issues, see post 7 of this thread:

Re Curly Joe spreadsheet:
736cc issue was low battery voltage
Ericio69 cured by throttle body replacement (no diagnostic help, as problem could be vacuum, IACV or TPS)
Jeff Hawk: IACV replaced
Johnf514 IACV replaced
Mangus replaced IACV and EOT, without curing, leaving vacuum or TPS as possible culprits
Rolls "cured" issue with hard riding, which may have "exercised" IACV, etc.
Sandhog reported temp fix by cycling kill switch, suggesting IACV issue.
