No. Not unless your current TPS or IAC is bad. Or the top plate is leaking, which is unlikely.

alright thanks i didn't think it would do anything but jsut wanted to check.

The shaft bushings wear out eventually, causing vacuum leakage and throttle bind after they get way out of spec. At $20 I'd bag the new one up and keep it for later.
