vlad we told you how to find it. but here's more info:
http://www.madracki.com/miata/images/wiring/00sys.pdf
page 2. upper right.
black/red is gnd
lt green/red should be +5V
green/black is the TPS output.
but get a voltmeter on that ****.

If a reflash of the the ECU doesn't work, I'm going to start checking sensors and likely replace the CAS sensor with one from the spare motor.
I was getting a good signal in the past on the timing, but it is gone now. I need to get that back before I can do any more tuning.

Reflashed the ECU and got my CAS back. Drove it about 40 miles and the log looks good. Don't know what happened to cause it to lose the CAS, but the reflash fixed it.
I do still have the three codes that I had initially. I had cleared them before driving but they are back.
The high temp coolant code may be legit, as I am seeing peaks of 108*C, then it drops to 95*C. I still haven't replaced the thermostat. Will likely do that today. I think it is sticky. 108*C is higher than stock by a good margin.

Stein, my 99' runs pretty hot too. But it never overheats. If you do replace the thermostat use a good brand one or an OEM of the factory temperature. Also make SURE you have all the air out of the cooling system. If it's overheating and then falling to normal that's the tell-tale signs of a sticky thermostat.
Bad grounding can cause problems with MS, so it's possible that's what messed up the firmware on yours. Go over ALL your grounds and clean them up good, even do the battery connections.

They make a 192*F (factory temp) or a 180*. I bought a 192, but wondered if I should have gone to 180.
When I replaced the rad, I ended up running it on jackstands with the front as high as I could get it and the rear pertty much on the ground. I ran it several times from cold to full hot over a couple of days. At least 30 minutes run time so I think I should be good on air, although the thermostat is low compared to the water level, so I guess I will have to go through it all again.

I never touched any of the grounds. I should check it out.

I'm pretty sure it's the thermostat. As soon as it opens it drops to 94* almost instantly. I just reviewed the long log that I took over 40 miles. It drops like a rock as soon as it hits 108 then it creeps back up just to drop again. Plenty of cooming capacity even without the shrouding.

I also figured out why it was accelerating at low RPMs. When I would let out the clutch without throttle, it would accelerate on its own. Push in the clutch and the RPMs would drop. I had the throttle cracker set too high. Lowered it to around 8 (was 20) and it will now enough to pull the car at 1200 in first gear on jackstands, so that should be good.

Throttle Cracker? Sounds like a slang name for a white boy ricer
Seriously though, I suppose it is preventing stall by opening the IAC a bit? I read through the manual but do not remember seeing that.
edit: OK I found it in the manual. Cool...

Base map has 20 autotuned cells now. It runs well.
Still have the three codes from before. They come back whenever I clear them. Doesn't seem to be affecting driveability, though.

That may be why it was affecting me sometimes and not others. I have been running in rapid learning, but had switched to open loop. That's when the problem came up. Now that you say that, I never had the problem in rapid learning. All of my driving has been in rapid learning thus far.

Hey Stein how about posting your latest Adaptronic tuning file in the next day or two (Wednesday or Thursday)? I'll have the Adaptronic in on Thursday and will be ready to plug in and tune right away.
