This is an update of the previous thread - it looks like I accidentally dislodged 2 wires from the throttle position sensor wire harness while performing my hack job starter replacement. So there's currently no communication with the gas pedal, etc. until I get this resolved.

Here's what I need to know:

1) is it possible to salvage this with the existing parts? In other words is there a way to get these wires reinserted / remounted in the harness? Or do I need to replace this wiring?
2) assuming there is a method to reinsert them, I think I saw in a video that the red one goes on the outside. can anyone verify that?
3) once I get the wiring problem fixed, do I need to run the idle learn procedure?

 

I too have dislodged my red wire from my TPS and I know someone out there has put that bad boy back in there and I would like to know how they did it! I'm not too content with replacing the entire throttle body bc of one loose wire. I mean...can I just shove it back in there?

 

You would have to get the wire repaired, by either (1) de-pinning the wire terminal from the connector and then re-pinning with a new terminal or (2) get a junkyard pigtail connector or a new compatible matching pigtail connector and then splice the wires together. If you don't feel like you're able to do-it-yourself, search for a local auto electrical repair service shop.
