Hey fellas, I believe I need a new tps. Can I just take it out of the box and put it on or is calibration really necessary? I don't have a volt meter. Oh and tb is stock

In theory...yes. Especially if it's a ford tps. If its aftermarket, you might need a voltage meter just to get it in the ballpark.

But technically you can just slap it om and run the check engine codes.
