While that is basically true, the throttle body switches in this case 
(WOT and idle) are part of a "two switch and one connector" assembly, 
and while splicing in a new generic switch should be quite possible, it 
would also need mounting holes in the right places, etc.

Then again, maybe the "generic" ones have appropriate holes most of the 
time?
