The white wire on the zex box should go to the blue wire on the TPS. This is assuming you are running the zex box by itself with no relays/window switch, etc...

Red wire on zex box should go to an activation switch and black is ground....

I dont see how it will be a problem if you just unhook it form the yellow wire and connect it to the blue. Zex has an easy/fast install

RED to activation switch
White to blue TPS wire
Black to Ground


Then just hold button on zex box until it is red, go turn the key to the on posistion but do not start. Hold gas pedal to the floor for roughly ten seconds. The zex box should then be blinking red/green/off, that lets u know it was programmed correctly. Turn off activation switch and then turn it back on. Zex box should then be constant green, it flickers green when solenoids are activated.

The relays would only be needed if you were using a window switch, IAT timing trick, etc.....

Me for instance I am running a relay for the IAT, a relay for the window switch, and a relay for the bottle heater.
