Default Zex and explosion

A friend of mine just put his ZEX kit on and took it for a test run and squeezed a total of three times. First two went fine but the last one didnt go so well. Apparently a flame shot out of the intake tube, there was a burn mark near the headlight on the metal and the inside of the filter was all messed up. I looked at the plugs (which were all black and looked a bit burnt, so we ordered some colder NGK's bckpr7-11 I think) and reset the computer, so hopefully it will run fine now, but he needs to know which wire is the WOT. COuld someone help him out?? thanks

I dont have any or I would. But, the ZEX kit asks for a wire to be ran to the WOT wire/switch in the car. Where this wire is I have no idea..maybe on the map sensor or something?

on a honda the tps, there are 3 wires and the the red/black wire should be the 1 in the middle that you tap.

I don't believe there's a switch on there, stock. I don't have "naaaaaaws" but I think there's a little contact switch you attach to the throttle so that it only sprays at Wide Open Throttle...

ZEX learns the throttle curve of your TPS, it uses the TPS as a "switch".
