The throttle body only has 1 plug going to it, I think? Cant be that hard to find, I wouldnt know because Ben could be talking about a 17pin clip at the ECU?

yea and the ecu is on the passg. side... but im there is a plug behind the throttle body that has a plastic cover over it. I believe its a 6 pin connector w/ yellow/red blue, red/black and a couple other wires. But i think the red/black one is it.

I remember the plug on the TB but not how many wires are on it. 6 seems right.
Ive replaced my TB due to stupidity. *Puts head down*

trying to finishing running my zex kit but i think i might have tapped the wrong wire for the TPS. so stuck on this step already installed window switch fuel lines and ran the lines... im hoping i just tapped into the wrong wire and my NMU box isnt messed up.

the D6- purple wire is not the throttle positioning wire. The Fit ECU communicates with the electronic throttle module using a serial bus, so there isn't a standard 0-5V sensor that will tell you the actual throttle position. The next best thing would be to use the accelerator pedal position sensor (pin D6). Just realize that the electronic throttle doesn't always follow the accelerator position directly: some stock ECUs will open or close the throttle if they think the MAP sensor voltage is too high or too low.

lol scaring me there w/ it not being always accurate its for the TPS sensor on the ZEX box. So does anybody know what the red wire with black line is on that 6pin connector behind the throttle body is then? cuz i have it spliced to there rite now but no worries not running it I will try to splice into that wire instead when i get off of work this weekened then.

you can also get the TPS wire from the harness that plugs into the throttle body. on the 8th gen civic, it is the first wire (pin1) red/black. i haven't looked at the fit yet, but it might be similar.

i found the throttle body TPS wire more accessible than the ECU plug.
