Lets say a VTC is on the car... if you set it to the max setting of 9 the throttle starts a 0 and increases to 100 in say half the time it would at a setting of 5. Obviously it does this by adding a sum to the actual pedal reading... but.... in the end you reach WOT sooner.... yes? Even if it is not an exponential curve... it still adds / increases the value...

or am I still way off base.

Thanks

The TPS only goes 84%. Something in the ECM programming. So WOT is still only 84% throttle.

Thanks... so maybe this is adjustable through a tune? And if you could hit WOT at 4k how bad would that be for the engine?

No tuner has been able to "fix" that yet unfortunately.

I believe the throttle stays open even at idle when he was able to get it 'tuned out'.

I don't have 100% throttle with my overkill tune on a manual... It looks like I max out at 91.8%.

But stock, I had 15% throttle opening without my foot on the pedal.
