Hey I just received the venom 400 in the mail for my acura 2.3CL auto and I'm having a little trouble hooking it up. I found the MAP sensor near the intake manifold but I cant seem to locate the Throttle Position sensor.. They book said its located on the opposite end of the throttle linkage shaft on the throttle body and its a 3 wire connection. I have no idea where this is or what to look for. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Also, where is the best place to mount the VENOM 400? thanks!

okay go stand on the passenger side of ur car with ur hood open. see the map sensor on top of the intake mianifold?? well look silighty to the left and down. ull see the tps sensor. u might have to remove the strut bar to get to it easy. tps is throttle position sensor. so it is on ur throttle body. so what color wire diagrams did venom give u?? i have been trying to straigten out their info for awhile. it used to say acura 2.4L vtec up top. what does urs say. also ground it to ur battery!! the ground is very important for the venom. the battery is a perfect ground. venom has told me a lot of ppl have probs when it isnt grounded to the battery or if they dont have probs then their venom might not be working 100% efficient. well i would like to hear that venom has actaully got their info right and all ur wire colors match up, cuz when i had it nothing matched up right. i figured it out by trial and error. which is prob why mine got screwed up and i had to send it back to venom. they reprogramed it for me. i should get it back mon. cant wait.

 

I have the V10-133 for the 2.3(the 2.2 cl is a V10-100 i beleive, i guess they tune that extra .1 cylinder?) The instructions on my car on on a sheet of paper stapled to the manual. The orange wire of the venom will be connected to the red/green wire of the vehicles MAP sensor. its a 3 wire connection, yellow/red green/white red/green.
The green wire of the venom will be connected to the red/black wire of the vehicles TPS. its a 3 wire connection green/black red/black yellow/blue

Do I have the right instructions?
Also where did you mount the actual venom unit and the LED light?
thanks

the led i didnt moutn yet. the venom itself is mounted on the insode of the car on the firewall down by the pedals. there is a nice big empty spcae there. also it is easy to reach so i can turn it on or off while stopped at a light. as long as u turn the car off first!!!!!

 

sup ppl, i just found this website, and i think im gonna enjoy checkin' it out more often. Exactly what is the venom 400? is it similar to an ecu chip that other cars have?

 

just look at all the threeds on this page and u would have found thisvenom here i find it for u
