wot box help
first off i got a 2006 cobalt ls
secondly my issue is that i cant get my wot box to work. on the wire harness there is a green wire that is supposed to hook up to the clutch pedal position sensor wire which is supposed to be brown/white. well according to the instructions there are 2 of these wires on the ECU but i only have one, additionally it says its pin #8 on the ECU harness....and its missing. well i looked at the clutch pedal and found a sensor or the plunger, well i wired the green wire into the wire that has power when the clutch is pressed down. so i followed n2mb's instructions again to test the 2 step...press down the gas, LED blinks, press down the clutch as well, LED is supposed to briefly go out, come back on solid for a second and resume blinking...well the clutch part isnt workin
HELP PLEASE!!!!

the wot box can be bought with one of 2 or both features which is NLS (no lift shift) and 2 step.
NLS - when in boost, it cuts ignition for a split second allowing you to keep your foot on the gas so you can shift gears without losing boost
2 step - you can set it to so that you can launch at a desired rpm without having to feather the gas for example 2500 RPM. hold down the clutch then quickly hold down the gas, the engine will rev up to 2500, dump the clutch when ready and boom, youre off.
it also comes with other features as well. go to N2MB.com for more details
i kinda figured that out yesterday when im lookin at the instructions, then lookin at my car...look at instructions then lookin at the car....lookin at instructions then lookin at the car lol. i was like "what the **** is this?" then i kept readin on the site and went to "other vehicles" and got it hooked up. god im ****** slow haha
i appreciate the help man. its weird, the instructions said the brown wire was on ECU pin #8...but i didnt have a number 8 at all. a test light really comes in handy, i new that thing would come in handy for somethin.

If you have a laptop and the cable to connect to the WOT box, you can go to the site and download the firmware. Sometimes you have to switch the clutch to inverted. Thats what I had to do.
