Hey Mr.Nickleye?

In my last post you answered my question by saying that the Throtle Position Sensor is good to go out of the box. On another forum, they tell me it has to be callibrated and they point it out in the TSRM. It says to put a .58 guage between the throtle stop and lever, connect an ohm-meter to two terminals, and gradually turn sensor until the ohm-meter deflects. Some questions. Is all this necessary? What does deflect mean? Also, is an ohm-meter something a backyard mechanic needs and how much do they cost? I'd be real happy if you could find the time to answer these few questions.
