Im not Ricky But I can tell you. We carry several TPS switches. We carry the NX and the ZEX. We also carry a window switch with a TPS built in.
The TPS is a electronic box that will wire in and read the voltage off of your TPS sensor. It will activate the system by reading the voltage at wide open throttle.
