I took out my power economy switch on my 92 dsm and I forgot which wires go where and I was wondering if anyone knows. Also i noticed a big change in acceleration, does this switch make your car faster when turned on?
 
The power economy switch is for your automatic transmission. It doesn't do anything for creating more power from the engine, it just changes your shift points. When you have it in economy, it has delayed kickdowns and early shift points. When it is in power, it has early kickdowns and late shifts. The early kickdown and late shifts put the motor in better part of its power band so it seems as though it has more power. Also, I know you are not supposed to run your car in economy except over 40mph as it will put a lot of strain on the transmission at lower speeds due to the early shifts.
 
Thanx for the info, do you know where the wires go, or is there a diagram somewhere that shows this. I pulled out the wires to paint the dash cover there but forgot where each wire goes.
