Default NX Throttle Position Switch install???

I want to install the TPAS on my car. Where are most people splicing into the car for ECU input pick-up? The location or wire color on my 2000 would be great...

Thanks for the help!

Mike :cheers:

To be honest most of us on the forum do not use that switch. They are difficult to set properly and is not necessary for a safe install of N2O. Please let me know if you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer.

:iagree: Throw that thing away, they are more of a pain in the azz than they are worth, just mount a micro switch on the back side of the gas pedal, very simple and works everytime! :cheers:

Here is a pic of how mine looks. I used the purge switch and mount on top of the gas pedal stop.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.... The only reason I was looking to install is because the TPS was free. My thought was an extra safety precaution couldn't hurt.
