Replacing TPS connector with aftermarket connector and the color scheme on the wires are totally different. I need to find out what wires go to and what location on the six-pin aftermarket connector. The existing wires are 1) tan wire with blue stripe
2) tan wire with green stripe, 3) tan wire with red stripe,
4)tan wire with white stripe, 5) solid yellow wire, 6) tan wire with black stripe.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

See attached for the pinout of the sensor.
It shows the wire color and locations.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

I'm kind of slow so please bear with me. The six wires coming from my engine to connect to the throttle position sensor (throttle body connector) are as follows:
tan wire with blue stripe
tan wire with green stripe
tan wire with red stripe
tan wire with white stripe
solid yellow wire
brown wire with black stripe
I'm having trouble determining which wire goes where when splicing to the connector i.E: pin a, pin b, pin c, pin d, pin e, and pin f.
Again, sorry to keep bugging you, it's the only ride I have to get to work and back. Thanks so much in advance for your time and expertise.
Respectfully,
Kevin D Weimer

On the diagram you will see the column with "wire", that has the letters that represent the color of those wires.
All you will have to do is to splice the wires from the connectors of the factory harness.
Just pay attention to the location of each wire for the factory and splice accordingly.
Let me know if this clears it up.

Okay, the connector I'm trying to splice into the wiring harness is pictured below. It's a pigtail connector having the following:
a) yellow, b) brown, c) red, d) green, e) grey and f) purple.
The existing wires from the harness are as follows: tan with a blue stripe, tan with a green stripe, tan with red stripe, tan with a
white stripe, solid yellow, brown with black stripe. I don't have an original TPS connector and I'm having trouble figuring out which wires from ECM to splice where to pigtail connector that connects to throttle position sensor.

The connector picture that you sent has the same color as the diagram on the manual, which represents the factory colors. If possible please upload the picture of the factory harness.
