Setting up for RPM and throttle % opening

Hi, I am running a Toyota 2ZZGE engine in my Fraser Clubman and want to record the throttle opening with the rest of the DL1 data.

I am wanting to use the existing Toyota Throttle Positioning sensor(linear type) that feeds the ECU!

Will this work? If so, what terminal I should connect the data feed terminal on the DL1?

Also having trouble in finding out the majic number of pulses that the DL1 +Dash 3 needs for the dash 3 RPM lights to operate. Has four igniters so maybe 0.5 is correct?

TPS: If your car has a three wire TPS, then yes. Just tap into the signal voltage and feed it directly into a free analog in on the DL1. I did a basic calibration with some data at no throttle and at full throttle. Most cars have a linear response on the sensor, so all you need is the low and the high signal voltage to convert to % throttle.

RPM: Is your car injected or carbureted?
