Default Apexi Throttle Controller

Hey guys, I wanted to ask if anyone knew how to reach the throttle controller inside the car? I looked all over and around the initial gas pedal and pull the carpet back and was unable to find the throttle sensor for me to plug the female controller into. Can someone please help me out? I really don’t want to spend the money to take it to a performance shop just to plug in a few wires. Thank you!

Are those the only parts you have?

Did you buy the module and the harness?

Thanks guys for the help! So I found where it is located. I plugged it all in and go it sort of working. I assume that the grey solenoid wire needs to be grounded. Any suggestions as to where?
