I made one out of a small/thin paperclip once - otherwise your best bet would be to just snag one out of a junkyard

you can try the paperclip, or maybe some 26ga wire from a craft store or home improvement store wrapped around and twisted together, or strip the paper or plastic off of a trash bag tie... or ...

remove the TPS from the throttle body and actuate it through a rube-goldberg like mechanism connected to the board game "Life" spinner, 4 squirrels, 2 lesbians, an MRI machine, the video game "pong", 1 cat (chasing the 4 squirrels), 3 dogs (chasing the cat), the "Death Star" Lego kit, SwampThings medical history, 1 parakeet and 193 steel pachinko balls.
