Default Throttle Position Sensor

Hey all. My TPS has gone bad and I looked up a little background on the repair. Looks simple enough, screw the old one off and new one on. The only part I'm not too confident on is the calibration of the sensor. Is it possible to buy one already calibrated? Or is it simple enough to calibrate with an OPDII? Thanks.
-Sebastian.

Only way I know of calibrating it is by getting a multimeter and tilting it in each direction until the proper resistance is being shown.

I believe I calibrated mine by feel. Your idle will change as you turn the TPS and I turned the TPS when the idle felt normal again. But I highly recommend doing what derps said.
