on the monitor screen where the readouts are my throttle % is only at 89 90% when the peddal is to the metal, in my buds car and my womans car the throttle is 100%. whats on your minds? maybe the cable was stretched or something?? dont know need some suggestions

 

the same thing was happening to me BEFORE i got my VAFC... i just noticed that my car was not performing up to par... turns out that the throttle cable was like... loose and ****... just adjust the throttle cable until the little pulley hits the stopper on the TB when you floor it inside the car... if its still not hitting 100% on the VAFC, then its an electronic problem... good luck.

 

sounds like your cable is just loose.

I make mine tight...dealer spec is .25" deflection.

if it's too tight your idle will fluctuate.

 

how to tighten the cable, mine is so loose that the little bolt that is supposed to be on the threads is at the last thread and my pedal has to be pressed an inch before the throttle moves

thats the same thing that was wrong with mine... there was MAD play on the pedal... just go down and fiddle with the little nuts on the cable until its fixed.. cheers and good luck

 

I might have the same problem...seems like my idle likes to mess around from 6-800 or so...

also my friend adjusted my throttle cable after we did a compression test because it seemed moved.

 

I just recalibrated the VAFC and that fixed my problems, but you have to make sure that the throttle plate is opening and closing properly.

The recalibrate option is somewhere in the Settings options I think. It looks like a screen with an up arrow and a down arrow. You have to release the pedal when the arrow poiunts up then floor it when the pedal is down or the other way around.

 

what do i do if the throttle plate is sticking?? carburator cleaner??

thanks for info, im glad im not the only one.

 

Cleaning should help. For me when my throttle plate was sticking, I had to re-lub that spring that make the throttle plate return to a closed position and that fixed the problem.
