TPS is a gradual resistance. As you accelerate this, it goes through a conductive material that to different displacements of the footprint. Remove resistance by sending a specific voltage to the computer, solution: some can be opened. First, nothing to recalibrate the needle. make sure to make good contact with the conductive material. And failing that the track is without damage or much wear ... and if there should be repainted with graphite resistive paint ... I hope it helps you something!
