Angry rpm switch

i just got my rpm switch in and i tested it with a test light and i drove it out side my house and it worked perfect, i have the rpm switch connected to my nitrous master switch and i wired up my zex to the rpm switch and when i got it all hooked up i hit the switch and it revs to 1500 rpms, it didnot do that when i first hooked it up and tested it with the light, so i am stumped, the only thing i could think of is that my master switch is hooked up to a orange wire (drivers side under the kick panel), mabey it has something to do with that, any help would be great.

it about has to be something with that orange wire like i am taking to much away from it and it is doing something with the fuel or timeing so i need to figure out what that wire is.

Your engine itself actually revs to 1500 rpm without you touching the pedal?

The tps sensor getting voltage can't cause the rpms to jump, are you sure its not spraying the nitrous?

How will it raise the rpms? your car isn't getting enough air to feed it for those rpms.

I would expect perhaps a small jump in rpms from extra voltage at the tps but not 1500 rpms sounds like something is way miswired, give them a call hopefully theyl'l know better what the systems doing.

it is not miss wired i ran the kit for a few months. it is something to do with the zex box or the way they made the box.
