91' Ford Ranger Throttle Postion Sensor Testing

Sometimes as I am starting off in my manual 91' 2.3L Ranger it will seemingly die down. After I have released the clutch and peg the accelerator, the engine seems to pull down to idle speed almost immediately. The only code I have is for the EVP, which I think is because it's loose, but I wondered if the TP wasn't bad? I want to know what the usual voltage should be if I tested it with a multimeter. If you have any other suggestions I'd be glad to here them. Thanks, Mr. Mojo Risin'.

A TPS is just a variable resistor, it should have a smooth resistance change as you move it through it's range.
