Do i have to do anything with the NPS wire for my subaru conversion?

It can chuck an idle air fault (code 24) if not grounded.

It's a case of suck it and see

Im still not sure what wire is put to earth, at the moment i have earthed the black wire and it seems ok , no stalling issues. Some say to plug the 2 NPS wires together but it still did the stalling thing so i earthed the black wire, was that the correct thing to do ?

Blacks ground.
I seem to remember one wire goes to the ecu, the other to the switch. The other side.of the switch goes to chassis ground via the main harness

Some of us need simple answers ! Was earthing the black wire the correct thing to do ?

Earth the black, stick a paper-clip between the two contacts where the switch goes.

Haven't we had this convo already?

So i have to join the 2 wires together and earth the black wire .

Wires? Join the 2 terminals in the connector with a bit of wire. A chopped down & bent paper clip works a charm. This is the easiest/quickest but it's not the neatest.

Or trace the wire back from the connector to the ECU & earth it. Chop off switch connector. Job done

Stupid question maybe but whats an "NPS"
Cheers Ian.

Doesn't matter i've found it.
Anyone who's interested it's neutral position switch.

I assume an "NPS" would only of been fitted to an auto?

Cheers Ian.

Wires ! yes when you get a loom converted it has 2 wires for the NPS switch !Its very simple what has to happen with these 2 wires. A straightforward answer please. I have manual box ( DK ) so no need for NPS .
