No issue with mine. Everything works just fine.

Just amazing how they insist on re-engineering stuff to the point where nothin' works. Makes me appreciate our old stuff that works and runs.I sure enjoy those electronic gas pedals when the t.p.s. switches on the throttlebody and the gas pedal argue, and you get reduced power and you can get out and walk faster than you can drive.John Kissel

Coworker says his Harley is doing the "no throttle" electronic dunce.

My piece of junk 2010 Corvette has the lag in the go pedal also. The Vette Catalogs have a fix for it (for over $300) but why in the hell dosent Detroit make it work right in the first place. I will NEVER buy a new one again. Give me a 66-67 or a pre 1971 muscle car instead any day. At least I can take one of the old vettes apart and put it back together blindfolded ! The new junk is CRAP and its almost impossible to work on ! Even the dealerships cant fix'em. Thank goodness my Harley has a carb and a cable throttle.

Gosh! I thought it was just ME!! The old nerves connecting the head bone to the knee & foot bones not working. I never realized it was actually the truck that wasn't working right.

I often can not get that throttle response quick enough to suit guys. There are tables in the calibration controlling that, but maxed out it will never feel like a cable operated throttle.
If you race one like that, with a couple of key strokes you can limit how far it opens.
Electronic throttle stop. Set it to whatever % opening you want to slow it down to work the AHFS.

Ed,

Are you giving away your secrets about your throttle stop? ;~)
