Pnp According to my info, the red connector pin #32 was an orange/black signal feed from the park-neutral position switch in the console (with A4). It provides a ground signal when in park or neutral...is "open" in any other position.

So does that mean its the feed for the neutral safety switch?
If it really is the park / neutral switch, you'd probably want it with the TH350 too (At least, I'd want it.)
I don't know for certain, but I expect it is there to keep you from trying to start the car in gear, which might do bad things to the starter. Might also do bad things to the tranny, since you wouldn't have full hydraulic pressure and all kinds of interesting things might happen.

I think the original programming allowed the PCM to anticipate gear engagement which would give a little "idle" adjust just as the trans loaded the engine. It probably was intended to prevent an idle surge or possible stall. I am using it on my car and it seems to work well.
