I'm running modified ABF alternator brackets with shorter belts in both my 16V throttle cars, gives plenty of clearance but also hard to come by...
Current rides:

VW Golf - 83 GT 2.1 16V 2-door with throttles
VW Golf - 78 LS 2.0 8V 4-door (2.1 ABF with throttles in progress)
VW Golf - '08 Citi Storm - 1.4 for now
Hyundai - 1.4 Getz (daily)

Use ohm meter. Find two wires over which the resistance climbs or falls when you move the throttle.
The management's 5v output and tps signal wires goes onto those two. The other one is a SIGNAL ground. Not body earth. Signal ve-

download an old standard gotech version 5/6/7 manual from the gotech website.

Inside the manual they have the tps pin out for Toyota 20v

Hi Guys

Once again thank you guys for all the advise and help you wouldn't believe how much it helped with the success of my 16v throttle project.

Well with success one seems to pick up may faults and failures which i believe is a learning curve.

Anyhow, let me jump right into it need some help trying to put the wire back as it seems to have come out when we removed the dickator(pics attached).

i would also like to ask what the black is in the plug, we thought it was burnt but it doesnt have any burnt smell, lol, please note i am not electrically included... so hence im come to all you experts here to advise a layman like myself to diy the problem myself.

Below are pictures of the wire plug and also some pictures of the 16v project. Please note see is stock standard no cams, no high pressure fuel pump or any exotic modifications .. however, after having a little fun in her i do feel cams would be a good fit just to give that little more when downing the throttle... (advise would be much appreciated)

Black wire or black/red stripe or black/yellow stripe is normally switched 12v.
