You can always strip the insulation and get a hold of a multimeter. Have someone press the gas pedal all the way and you should see 5 volts there. (of couse, make sure you ground the black lead of the multimeter to a ground. Theres that ground junction right next to the radiator that you can use)
But like Philth said, it's always smart to test with a multimeter when unsure. Also, I'd recommend (if you haven't already) DL the FSM located on here and save it somewhere on your PC. This info will be in there as well.
I cant speak for everybody, but on my car it's kinda weird on how it reads. Again, since my car is back at home (I'm in England), I can't verify. But on my scan gauge, I believe the TPS reads what you stated, 3.75v. But actual voltage from the wire is 5v, or very close to that. Its either like I described or the other way around.
I used the middle wie, 100% sure thats the right one because I've already got one tapped in there, I believe for the safc maybe. Philth, is your methanol wired to your tps?
I have the Vari-Cool controller and it was wired in. I disabled it because I didnt really see a need in it. I just adjust the min and max spray, and duty cycle to achieve the desired spray levels.

So technically you don't know that the tps wire was working? I didn't plan on using the 0-5v wire but according to coolingmist, I may have the controller that requires it, so I wanted to try it that way to see if it would work.
No it was working. I needed to use the 5v output for my WOT box, so I just used that wire that I ran into the cabin already for the Vari-Cool controller. See what I mean?

I gotcha, that's what that wire was that was already tapped in, haha damn it that would have been much easier, oh well.
Now Im confused as to why he says he doesnt think the srt's TPS wire reaches enough volts when their instructions for the "hom" kit clearly tell you to connect to the tps.
Quote:
SRT-4 stage 3 HOM Kit (trunkmount and regular).
The SRT-4 HOM kit is designed to run using 2 inputs, boost and TPS. Connect vacuum hose to the varicool controller and tee into your
boost source. Connect your 0-5V TPS wire to the blue wire on Vari-Cool. The large white plug on your Throttle body is where the TPS
wires can be found. You will want to strip shielding on the wires back a bit and locate the orange/blue wire. Splice the blue wire from the
varicool to this and you are done. If you want to test it. Turn the key to run and connect the red lead from a multimeter to the orange/blue wire
and the black lead to a ground. Step on the gas and you should see the voltage go from near zero to around 4 volts or so.
I think he was just precautioning you that you may not reach a full 5 volts there. You'll see the multi meter oscillate at the very least. From 0 - at least 3.75 or higher. It will go hand in hand with pedal position.

I gotcha, he just made it sound like the wire wouldnt work because it doesn't reach 5 volts. I've got it wired so I just kinda needta know which position to put the switch on the controller in now.
