Maybe it needs a little more or a little less resistance. I would take it out and add a little 5k pot there and see if that helps.
Edit: 1K is what I've seen on a lot of write-ups etc., but some TVs can be really funny (and some boards) about sync. 5K should give you enough leverage either way to get decent sync.
What game is it that isn't syncing?
