Default Are my TPS wires in the right order?

I know you had to switch some of them when going to MPFI. I cleaned out my throttle body today and now my car surges and revs straight to as high as it can go. I figure it could be a TPS sensor issue. Anyone tell me what is the right order?

I did take it off, mine came with screws that were easily removed (I guess the previous owner did that since I thought they were rivetted on). How can I fix this. I should be able to drive the car tomorrow after I put the header on so I a tired of waiting.

dude! your TPS is upside down ..The wiring looks right though...
I have a B16 and a D16 and on both of them the tps points down,not up as in your picture.

Ha yea, it is upside down. When I was looking at it earlier I was trying to figure out what angle u took that pic from.

Also, whenever you remove your TPS, you've gotta re adjust it back on to where its at .5v idle and 4.5v WOT. I had mine misadjusted for a while and my car idled at 4K.

I thought it was upside down because I took off the throttle body because I wanted to clean it. I took out my Chiltons and was looking at the 88-91 Si throttle body because I thought they were the same and I noticed how theirs pointed down. So I took it off but inside it looks like it just matches up right like that. So if I move it downward 90* or whatever it should be better? I can deal with high idle for a while but 7200rpm high idle I cannot.

Also how do you adjust it to the right voltage, turn it slightly?

I went and switched it today, I had to do it basically 180*, so i assume before it was stuck at WOT. I haven't ran it today cuz I'm sick of the open header sound but once I get my header I think it will be fine.
