Do wires connect to this?
« on: May 01, 2023, 17:37:30 »
Could anyone advise what this is for? It looks to me that some wires should connect here. Am I correct? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Looks like the throttle switch, controls the Double Acting Solenoid located on top the automatic transmission.
See https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Automatic/Start#ThrottleSwitch.

Thank you for the quick response.  My car is a manual transmission, so that makes sense. Appreciate the help.

Hi,
So if your car has a manuel transmission you don't need this switch.
Maybe your throttle comes from a car with automatic transmission.

What's your VIN? Maybe you engine number would help?  People should know for what equipment they are giving advice.
