The 03's are cable driven on the throttle body. The red line is about 8200-8400 at least it is on my 03 gt.

I seem to remember reading that GM did the engine control electronics on the Vibes so they are different in that regard from the Toyotas. I can't say for sure that this applies to the parts in question, but you'll probably run into some difficulties putting the GM version into a Toyota.

Our ECU harness connector is different. I think fuel cut is 8350. cable throttle. They are toyota compatible.
