NEED HELP!!! Throttle Body wiring
Ok i'm completely drained of ideas and i need someone's help. Here is all the info i got. My car is a 08 cobalt L61 Xfe. Factory plug is a 6pin. Here is the pinout from top right to top left, then bottom right to bottom left. Looking at the plug with the tab on top.
A=Brown
B=Yellow
C=Tan
D=Green
E=Grey
F=Purple
Here is the plug for the LSJ TB that ZZP gave me(colors are not right)
A=Green
B=White
C=Grey
D=Purple
E=Brown
F=Yellow
G=Black
H=Blue
Here is the last thing i tried.
A=F
B=E
C=C & H
D=A
E=B & G
F=D
This does not work. The moment i start the engine it shoots up to the rev limiter.
A=Brown
B=Yellow
C=Tan
D=Green
E=Grey
F=Purple

There is a company on ebay I just ordered an adapter from. The name is auto wiring solutions. It's specifically designed for L61 6 pin to be converted to LSJ 8 pin throttle body. Hope this helps I think it was $40. Well worth it.

Yes the tune is uploaded. I had it running this morning(not wired like the way you said to) and it idle fine. Problem was the AFR was at 10 at idle(maybe lower since the gague can't go lower). So rich that i watched black **** drip from the exhaust. Vince said it was my TB, that it isn't wired right. I data logged it and sent it to him...so now i'm back to square one with this wiring problem.

Ok, I'm going to rewire like my last post and go from there. that wiring had it running before. maybe I can play with it from there.
Can anyone give details on there being two 8 pin tb? I'm talking two 8 pin lsj, I already know all three motors have used 8 pin at some point.

Ok that gets it running and it stays at 1100ish for idle. Try to give it gas and it stumbles a bit but does go up. When the rpms are going back down it goes below idle and comes back up. ARF is at 10 or below...so back to how it was before.

OK that threw the TB idle speed Code and put engine in reduced power. When i tried to start RPM shot straight up...so Yellow and Brown are not the problem. Going to put them back and switch the TB Signal wires which are green and purple.

ganna leave it like it is and call vince at noon(est) and see what he says. This way i have it wired throws no codes and it starts up nice. He said the TB was wired wrong but really i've tried just about EVERYTHING with this wiring.

solder at first but with all this wiring changes i have done i'm using butt connectors. Even if i solder(which is what i'm doing once it is all sorted out) i dont see this 10 to 1 or below AFR leaving...Began thinking maybe one of the injectors are stuck open but i think vince can see if that was happening.
