can't you just unplug the TPS, turn the ignition on for 5 seconds (but not start the car), and then plug the TPS back in?
This recalibrates the sensor so that whatever the throttle blade is at currently becomes 0% throttle.

When I got the new throttle body...the blade was not closed all the way. I though that could be the problem with high idle, but when I took my stock one off, it was the same. The blade was open just a little bit. The guy I bought the TB from said it had new sensors.

Here is the porting job. Your thoughts?
