Default I figured out what was wrong.

It was a very simple problem... I'm stupid! I thought the LED on the TPS switch would only light up when it was reading WOT. Well it turns out it lights up when it is getting power even if it isn't reading WOT so I thought it was reading WOT at all times and when I adjusted it and my noids stopped opening it was because I had adjusted it to the point that it wasn't picking up any signal from the throttle positioning sensor wire. Thanks to everyone that helped me chase a problem that wasn't there :cheers:

You better double check it again. Mine only lights up when it's reading WOT. If it is not WOT, the light goes out.

LED should only light when TPS switch is closed WOT.
You still have a problem with switch or wiring.

My switch is a TNT unit, do you think they are the same? I guess I will try to get a hold of TNT again :rolleyes:

Now I have it all figured out thanks to RPO Z06 (thanks Jamie). The TPS switch is working (kind of) it will come on very close to WOT but when I let off the gas it keeps it open. We tried to adjust it to open closer to WOT but it won't adjust so I guess I need to get another TPS switch :smash:
