I agreed to pull it back one notch as you said...

My car shifts crisply with out being late on the shift points.  Be sure it is shifting cleanly and not slipping as you get down on the gas...a slip then burns up the clutches fast.

Oh. It was definitely slippin before then. Right now it's "perfect." IDK how it was set before, but the car was always turning over the tires. Glad its not doing that now. Just going, shifting, and going again. It should be illegal to own a car this fun to drive. :rock:

I'm happy that you finally are getting there....:)  Still waiting on your wot throttle comments...be sure to watch the O2s and the timing retard in case the chip needs to be programmed a bit...

im waiting to go WOT as well, but i still have to fix this TPS stuff(unless that above 4.0V is specifically for disengaging the compressor). AND, I just dont want to break anything. Im such a B word at times. Lol. But i just got the car back

AND, you should write out a scenario on my WOT. Floor it from 1st gear to the top of 3rd watching my numbers(and stop whenever my O2's fall below a certain value or I see any KR), or just get on the highway and take from there?

Just get out on the highway and floor it in third gear (put it in third so it cannot shift to OD) around 55 mph....keep your foot in it as long as you can (but not over 100 mph)....without getting a ticket or running over someone.  Let off if you see over two degs of timing retard...remem ber the lowest O2 reading is just before you let off

After you reset the tvs cable, does it still not go over 3.8v on the tps?

The only reasons to have it higher are so you can program the chip and to turn the ac compressor off at 4.1 volts if Eric leaves that in the chip.

Having said that, it should be easy to get into the 4v+ range.  Have some one mash the gas pedal to the floor while you are watching under the hood....while pedal is on the floor, look at the throttle lever on the throttlebody and see if it is against the stop or not...if it is not, grab it with your hand and see if you can pull it the rest of the way open...if you can, then you need to stick the tie wrap under the pedal under the ball on the end of the cable to take the slack out.

It it was open all the way, you need to readjust the tps...grab it and move it all the way forward so that both slots are up against the screws and then rotate the top back while keeping the bottom slot against the screw until you get the desired voltage.  That should give you max wot voltage.

Or, just go by what I wrote on my site.
