Quick Ford TPS Question

Well, its a Ford TB on a GM engine in a thirdgen...

Just wanted to double check the wiring before I change anything.I know the GM part is right.

Ford GM

Green- signal- Dark Blue
Red-voltage - Gray
Black-Neg - Black

I'm pretty sure green on a Ford is signal, and I would think red= +
and black = - ....unless Ford had a "better idea" and reversed them.

Its a 3.4 V6 (with a larger cam, ported heads, headers, etc) with a Trueleo intake, with a throttle body flange for a Ford 5.0 style throttle body. Considering the need for a larger throttle body in our application, and the many sizes available in the aftermarket with the Fords, it seemed a pretty logical choice. Ours is a 65mm Accufab. I've run into a few minor glitches with the car and been really busy lately, so its not quite finished...hopefully soon.

Is this for RAIF? Sounds like a pretty nice setup. Wish I knew a bit more about Ford electrical systems to help you out.. good luck with it

Yes it is. I'm pretty sure its wired right (ran into some other issues that have kept me from finishing the job), I'll post for sure once its running. I'm hoping for a big gain with the intake and throttle body combo; Fiero guys with similar intakes have had great results. Since this is the first prototype for an F-body, we're the guinea pigs. I'll be using a similar throttle body on my 87 TA (455, twin turbo), only much larger.
