Seriously can't find my TPS connector
Ok so heres the deal the car is a 87 turbo
When i bought it the TPS was broke so it wasn't even connected, i drove the car like that, i know you shouldn't but i got used to it its kinda like having an older vehicle with a carb hehe.
Anyway i finally decided to replace it but heres the problem, i serisouly can't find the connector for it anywhere, i also don't see any wires where it looks like it woulda been cut off at

Dont sweat it. The only thing your going to hurt is your gas mileage. TPS is used for reducing emissions at idle, and saving fuel while coasting down hill in a manual trans application. Auto trans application would have a second point of contact and thereby in act the kickdown.
Would you like a picture of the connector? Pins where it connects to the ecu? Or just simply tell you that the connector is a figment of your imagination, and that its wireless operated...

Ok i was checking it out agian today, and found these wires taped up to the wiring harness so i didn't see them befor.
They are on the drivers side of the engine.
Do these look like the wires that would go to the TPS connector? i assume the whole connector was cut off at one point.
