Calibrating a throttle body

tarpeeler · November 18th, 2009, 04:01 PM

i know awhile back there was a tread on here about recalibrating or taking some of the delay out of the throttle by turning the ignition to a certain point then slowly pressing down the throttle and stuff but i cant find it..anybody know what im talking about

This one?

Turn on, but not start your car. Wait a minute for the dash warning lights go off. Press the gas pedal slowly until it hits the floor and then release it slowly. Turn off and then start your car

I did that several times and never noticed a lick of difference.

Read this thread and try the method out. Guarantee to help with your throttle response. Re-calibrating will not help remove the physical dead space in the pedal but this will. Trust me.

If you are going to use foam tape for this, 1 or 2 pieces will probably suffice. If you are going to use lead tape, I think I used 11 or 12 pieces to get it to the right thickness to make a difference in pedal response. Just keep adding to it until you get an instant response from your gas pedal.
