Default Installing TPS

Does the TPS have to be wound in any way when installing it? I removed it to clean the TB, and now the idle is through the roof.

It is pretty much stayng at around 4.8v. Idle is a little above 3 grand, and it is a beeyach to start sometimes.

Yeah, I know, but I cant seem to get it there. So I did not know if it had to be wound or not.
