sup i have a ques for some reason when i drive my GSR and whenever i floor it the throtte percentage never reads 100 its always like in 96-97 can someone tell me why my car is doing this im kinda curious thanks alot

 

perhaps your throttle cable is not tight as it should be.

 

i tried the cable and its tight also it will only go to 100% when the car is on acc and not started
help me out with more ideas

 

Maybe the VAFC is not accurate?? Only thing I can think of.

 

Voltage fluctuates while the engine is running. Check your sensor voltages, and youll see the fluctuation. Its normal, every ones does it, dont worry.

 

thanks guys i will check it out but if anyone knows anything else let me know

When you first hook up your VAFC there is a process to set the throttle sensor in the manual. Basically the option to set it is in one of the VAFC setup menus. Just have the key in the ignition in the on position without the engine running and you press the throttle to the floor a few times so that way the VAFC learns what voltage WOT is for your car. If by chance you don't have the manual you can download it from the Apexi site.

 

Also your Tps might be fucked up. It might not be sending out the full votlage.

 

Mine would max out at 98% or so too, then I did this and it goes to 100%

 

I have the solution.

Mine was at 98% also when I first installed it. I reset the ECU and tried it again. It was 100% after and everything is in perfect working condition. RESET your ecu and try again.

 

is there a certain way i have to reset the ecu or just by disconnecting the battery and if so for how long ??

but first im gonna try the other thing so just put it to on pos and just floor it and hold it for a couple of times and this should fix it i will let everyone know after i did this

thanks guys

my friend has the same problem on his DSM it always reads 97% and my friends with the GSR also reads 97%. Check the throttle cable. Did you install it yourself if so have someone who has put them in befroe look at it.
