2005 Throttle Response

90Stang · January 7th, 2008, 01:38 PM

Is there anything to help out the slow response from the throttle on my 2005 mustang

Trick Tuners · January 7th, 2008, 01:59 PM

Yes, its fully tunable with any flash tuner.

Your slow throttle response is in what sense... that it doesn't accelerate till about 1/2" into the gas pedal, or stomp it and responds slowly?

thers a mechanical mod in the forums as well....it adjusts the contact points for the throttle...UDP's made mine feel more responsive as well....probably just in my head is all.

try this:
1. turn key to on but dont start engine, and wait until most lights go off
2. slowly depress gas pedal all the way down, should take 5 seconds, then take foot off slowly again 5 seconds.
3. turn key off
4. start engine and test throttle response
5. if no better, repeat 1-4

I did notice a slight better response, especially between gears when shifting.

did u guys ever get when racing when u shift into another gear and floor it like shuts of for a sec thn comes back on this happen to me a few time.. I think has to do with my traction control..

yeah i dont know much but mine was doing that and when i turned it off it fixed it so i would say that is what it is because it cuts the power if your tires start to slip

Yea its happened to me a couple of times. Dont know if its the traction control or the engine bogging cuase of the mixture or something. but my a/f was good just a little rich so i think its the tcs.

A tune and possibly pulleys may help out some.

Its better to adjust with a tune. I can set it up to be unusably twitchy, linear, or mellow on the 1st half, etc.

Gotta do this everytime you start the car?

Jeez....

onederful100 · January 7th, 2008, 06:25 PM

you dont have to do it every time, just 1 time. i did this before i got a tune and did notice a difference in the throttle response.

i need to try this...
i've lost a race to a 99 camaro v6 just because we were rolling already and my car has terrible throttle response unless it's from a dead stop...

... it actually works... I was overreving when doing heel toes...

or maybe it was my new shoes... either way... I drifted my car for the first time in dry pavement
