I have a 1994 5.7 GIPMDA. My boat has been acting weird. I have, I believe to the troubleshooting in the manual, traced it down to an open tps circuit. I'm getting a code 21. According to the Seloc manual it is a result of an open circuit 417; the circuit that sends the signal to the ECM letting it know how open the throttle is. It is an orange wire with a black strip.
My question is how do I replace it? How do I get it out of the tps harness and out of the ecm connector? Do I have to unroll the entire wire loom and replace the wire? What tool should I get to get the wire out of the harnesses,spade and all? Also, where can I find an orange wire with a black stripe. I'd like to replace it with the same color wire in case the boat gets sold. I don't want the next owner to have a wrong colored wire that could lead him in the wrong direction when troubleshooting in case he has trouble with the same sensor/circuit.
