we're talking about a pedal sensor

The pedal sensor is the input to the electronic throttle system, just like a computer mouse. The calibration via ISAT reads a voltage level set by this potentiometer and adjusts a servo to move the throttle valve. On cars without ETS (i.e. with mechanical cable linkage), this potentiometer sits directly on the throttle valve shaft. The ECU reads a voltage level, and adjusts the mixture.
You need to hire an indie Saab mechanic to install a new part and calibrate the system. Used parts are as unreliable as the one you own. The Colorado technicians are not idiots, they see hundreds of cars with poor emissions results, and OBD I is available to them as well.
