Default Throttle Position Sensor Location

Ive searched all of the forums and can't find where the throttle position sensor is on my 02 TA. I need to connect a wire to it with my Zex kit so help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The TPS is on the driver side of the throttle body. It's a round black sensor screwed to the side of the throttle body.

I believe it's:

Red Connector on PCM, pin 24, Dark Blue Wire

That would be another place for it. I believe it's the only solid dark blue wire in that connector to. An easy continuity test between the sensor connector and the PCM would confirm that.

I dont mean to hijack the thread but...
whats the voltage change on this line-
say 0-12 depending on position
I wouldnt think a digital signal-
im just thinking i could easily build a tps switch- cheaper than the ones pre-made
I know i could go actually find out but I am at work, just thought someone might know
