hey zilvia i have a question.
I have a 1990 s13 hatch that i did a 1995 s14 kaDE engine swap and 1992 s13 kaDE body harness swap...i kept then1990 automatic tranny due to insufficient funds.
its been over a month that i have not been able to use my car

(((

i wanted to know if anyone knows where or what color the wires are for the "kickdown sensor" on a KADE S13 Auto "body harness".. i know that manual tranny S13 did not come with a kickdown sensor (been looking at diagrams) and i cant find what wires to splice it to because the "new harness" came off a manual tranny s13 and i need the kickdown sensor to help read my actual MPH's while driving...
can anyone who knows about wiring help me out... or do i not need that sensor???
here is the sensor i am talking about

i found it off my old body harness..now i need to put it on the old one.. plzz help!

Kickdown is the sensor/button the backside of the gas pedal towards the top.
Only thing that is used for is to "kickdown" the automatic transmission a gear when you give the car full throttle. It does not effect your speed, you are looking for a speed signal wire.

i have a s14 auto and i swap it to a manual. i remember that i had to re-pin the manual harness to read the speed sensor at the fuse box which is the body harness. in your case you body harness is a manual and you have auto tranny look at the diagram at the fuse box and your tranny harness to see which wire is for the speed senor
