Zex install problems & ?s
The instructions don't say where to put the arming switch ground wire so I chasis grounded it.
Correct?
When trying to program the managment unit to read WOT the blinking lights say it's learning
but when I test it the solenoids activate at the slightest touch of the peddle.
I've tried reprogramming it 8-10 times w/ no luck. No techs available by phone so here I am.
Any advice appreciated.

RE: Zex install problems & ?s
Dumb question:
Check to make sure you've got your TPS sensor wire attached to the correct wire going into the throttle body and that you've got a good connection. Also, realize that sometimes cars aren't consistent in the color wires used in the harnesses (e.g. I just hooked up a powered internal AM/FM antenna following TacoBills instructions and his were colors were different than mine).
I grounded my box to the frame as well. No worries there.
When I did my 'teaching' the solenoids do open just a hair short of me getting the pedal all the way to the floor.

RE: Zex install problems & ?s
Thanks for the replies.
Wiring and grounds check out and I figure if the solenoids are opening at the
lightest touch of the peddle then the TPS connection is ok I just can't get it to
recognize WOT. I can't get it to go into learning mode again either. I'm
thinking bad NMU(n2o managment unit). Looks like I wait for Zex and
Brenspeed to open on Tues. $#@#% My wife of 18 years dropped the
bomb that she's leaving me when I was 2 hours into the install, well now
the **** is gone and I want to crack this bottle open. NOW
I love my car
