RS2k or RS1600i?

RSi didn't come with a TPS.

Throttle valve switch is just one cable that leads from a "L"-formed plug to the fuel-shut-off unit

There's a little screw on the front side of the throttle housing where the linkage for the throttle valve sits when closed. The plug is connected to this screw

yes. When the throttle valve is closed, it provides earth for the fuel shutdown
