For a NA application ... and speaking of power gains only .......
The verdict is still out there and the discussion still goes on and on

Get yourself something cool to drink and start your own research

Here is just one thread you can take a look at

Check to make sure your coming in straight and not cocking or pinching the cable...I had to shim my bracket almost 3/8" out to get a good sweep and get full travel. Its not a direct swap and my require some fiddling...

something like this....

What you want to do is cut the stock TPS connector off exposing three wires. There should be a gray wire with a red stripe, a gray wire with a white stripe and a brown wire with a white stripe. The fox TPS connector (the bottom connector in the picture) will have three wires also. A green, orange, and black wire. Here’s is how you want to wire them together:

Green wire – Gray w/white stripe
Black wire – Gray w/red stripe
Orange wire – Brown w/white stripe

I have the Right Pig tail...Getting ready to do the connections...HOWEVER, the pigtail connector I have does not have colored wires...it has all three gray wires . I will need someone to help me cross-reference by position.

Let's say you are looking at the front where it connects. You see the connector has part where the plastic comes to a triangular point...There is a wire DIRECTLY in line with that. We will call that 12 O'Clock. So which color would that be?

Still looking at the copper prongs with the wires going back There will be a 4 and 8 o'clock position, so need to know those colors. I can wait a couple days 2 make the physical connections, for now I will solder some connectors on the six wires and wait till I know what to plug into what.

Thanks

Well I think you can scrap the last question (above). The part that the pigtail connects to that goes to the TB (actual TPS wire) has the colors on it. When you mate the 2 parts, you can then match up the colors by how the mated parts line up. That piece DOES have the orange, green and black wires. I assume you just follow the color line.

If you read this and this is WRONG, PPPPPllllleeeeaassse tell me

Youre getting the Throttle cable...not a clutch cable...Just go to Ebay and put in "mustang Throttle cable" Should find one there.

That's good because it has the cable AND bracket. Some guys are getting $10-$20 just for that bracket plus shipping.

I have the Pigtail for the TPS if you want, I just havent got to list it yet.

That would be great. then all i need is the fox TPS right, then splice the bottom connector and it'll be done right?

You need the EGR spacer to bolt the cable bracket too, the cable the bracket, the pigtail, the TPS, which plugs INTO the pigtail. Then you will cut the wires on the 94/95 TPS harness, and solder the three on the pigtail according to the instructions in the first few posts.

Most of the pics were mine.... I had them loaded, like most of us at mustangmods...then they took a dump and we all lost our stuff....

I lost the hard drive on my laptop that all those pics were on...nothing could be retrieved as I was gonna reload them to this post... Lost like 6 yrs of pics on the machine.
