Two reasons, one I already bought one without realizing I had a problem and I don't want to spend $1000 for one but that may be the best way to proceed. I think you're right about one going positive and one going negative. I'm not sure how that guy got it work with a resistor - it's very likely he didn't.

One good thing about buying a throttle motor from a BMW is that they made 1000's so the track record is there.
