Ok back at it again today now that I have a spare sensor. Which wire goes to which pin on the stock connector? I know I read a post from Brain before, but can't find it now. Also, is this thing mounted upside down? The rotation on the sensor is not the same as the arrow on the plate. If I flip the sensor, I dont understand how the shaft will be able to connect the sensor..

There is a clear picture of how I mounted my old TPS201 to the baseplate in this thread:

Blah... really would rather just use this tps201 and get it done..
Here is my concern. If I flip it to make the rotation the same as the arrow on the plate, im not sure how the rod will grab the sensor. From the back side, it dosen't look like it will come in contact with the little tab. There is a recessed groove that the front side has.... I wonder if this is even the same sensor everyone else has been using.

You're right. It looks like they changed the design.
You need large, triangular tabs that project into the shaft area. You end up cutting/filing one of them to fit the half-moon shape of the Mazda throttle shaft. Here's that picture again:
If you look closely, you can see the single, triangular tab that protrudes into the shaft area. Not sure if this older design TPS201 is still available though.

Started playing around with the sensor I have today and I think I might have come up with something that could work. I took a nut to our bench grinder and made it round-ish. Then I put a notch on one side, and cut through on the opposite end (Another notch wasn't enough to make it sit in the sensor, so I had to cut all the way through). Then I filled a portion of the nut with some JB weld.
This sort of gives it that "Half Moon" shape to fit the shaft. It might need a little more JB or it could need a little sanding.. Guess I wont know till I test fit it on the rod.
I also set the sensor up on the stock sensor's plate. Just need to Solder the connections once our mechanic is in the garage to allow me to borrow his iron from the tool box. I'll keep you guys posted on how it all works out lol.
