ok heres the story, i was driving my moms car(a 2000 Grand Prix) yesterday when i noticed that her throttle was just soooo easy to add presure to. In my trans am i have the wire setup and you have to exert a certain amount of force just to get the wire to move a little bit. I like that electronic throttle idea a lot.

So, are there any kits on how todo this? i want something that sences how much pressure you exert, then puts that power on the throttle body. Quite simple, i mean i could do it my self with R/C car parts but i would like a designated kit for it. So has anyone here done it before if so how do you like it?

 

You could theoretically do this, but, the question becomes... Why?

The electronic throttle was put in place for the cars with traction control. When you step on the pedal, you are merely "suggesting" to the ecm that you want to go faster. The ecm then decides how much to open the throttle, depending on road conditions etc.

Basically, all it is is a variable resistor, and a servo motor that is controlled by the ecm. You could simply move the pivot point on your go pedal, thereby reducing the amount of force to open the throttle, or, put a larger crank arm on the throttle body, and acheive the same thing.........

 

well i wanted the cable in the tube that its in to move more swiftly if anything else, becuase i have to give it a certain amount of force to make it move the first time the car gives a much faster get go then i want it to. I have to exert, maybe a pound of forse to make the pedal move at all, but in my moms it was like nothing, i want it to be that easy, on mine its like incrmental. I dont think i can explain this in text as well as i could talking. But i want smooth pedals, not were more force then i relaly need is exerted on the pedal.

 

loosen a coil on the return spring. I accidentally did it when I was cleaning my TBI and when I put it back on I was like WHOA as I skiiirted out of my driveway in reverse.

 

alright i'll try that.

 

lube the cable, or better yet, get a new one
