How to adjust throttle postion sensor..

So i bought a performance throttle body and i expected to have crazy idling at first untill it got use to it but it getting worse..My mileage was 10 now i'm getting 7.75....I think it my throttle postion sensor..DO you think this could be my mileage problem??? I know it has to be between certain volts.I got the volt meter today at the auto parts..How do i adjust it????I need to get my 10 mpg back or better... For all who have sigs turned off it a 1996 f-250 460 v8..

just my thought but it is my understanding that anytime you add anything performance to an engine the mileage will drop. So getting a smoother idle makes sense but additional mileage not too sure on.

is there a chance that you have a vaccuum line disconnected.
