Any Relearn Needed when adding Ported Throttle Body?Pedal Commander Leave or remove? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Joe.G · 08-09-2022, 08:55 PM

Hi,

I have a ported throttle body coming shortly, Did you guys do any TPS/Idle relearn when swapping the TB? Disconnect Battery or anything?

I currently have a Tune ( Mods below ) and a Pedal Commander, What are your guys experience should I remove the Pedal Commander?

No Tune needed from what I am told/researched.

Thanks

As far as the pedal commander, never had one, so I can't comment on that. But as far as a re-learn, I just disconnected my battery, as you should always do that when disconnecting any electrical component to de-energize it. Swap it out, connect it back up and reconnect the battery and go drive it as you would normally would, that's all I did. Noticed the difference right away, quick and a lot more crisp on the response. You might want to take the pedal commander off and see how you like it, you might be surprised. Good luck!!

I didn't even disconnect the battery and I flipped it upside down to make room for a nitrous plate. No issues. I did have to do a relearn when I did a compression test because I had to hold the throttle blade open with a screw driver while I did the test.

Yes That is what I figured I would do just figured I would ask, I believe shutting Pedal Commander off puts it back to Factory.

Correct.

Joe.G · 08-10-2022, 08:54 PM

I should have it by the end of the month, I installed the Pedal commander a last week and honestly have not even tried it yet besides moving it around in my shop, I would like to take it off just because it is one less thing to go wrong so I am hoping the Ported TB will do the job, When I first purchased the car the clutch and the throttle were the first things I noticed needed work.

joe.g. may i ask which throttle body did you purchase and what size. that is going to be my next mod this winter.

Yeah I wanted one of his for a while I am glad I was able to get my hands on one.At some point I'd like to get a GPI Modded Intake.

Installed the Ported Throttle Body today and installed new battery at the same time, I used a torque wrench but I ended up stopping at 95 Inch pounds ( Spec is 106 Inch pounds ) since it really felt like it was getting tight. Car started right up but the RPM gauge was gong crazy and I had an ABS and Service Power steering warning message on dash. I unplugged the MAF and TB Plug and plugged them back in and everything went away.

BO's work looks great and working with him was very easy. Thanks again BO.

I can't say how it works on the road as it is finally raining here so it will be a few days before I get the car out.

Thanx bud. I just happened to run across that new TB when I was cleaning my workshop out. Glad you wound up getting it.
Most usually ditch the pedal commanders after a ported TB. Sometimes errors are thrown when ran together because it's too much.
