Hi All,
my 3200 (manual) has been throttle sensitive since I bought it.
As I already have a Sacer cap on the throttle body, I can safely assume that I have a contactless Throttle Body.
So I tried the reset procedure (2 min idle position with ignition on, shut off, then 12 seconds Full throttle , you probably know the procedure)
But it did not make a difference, so I suspected the Pedal Pot.
I joined the yellow and white wire (yes I know ) and it made a slight improvement. So I was convinced the PP was on its way out.
I bit the bullet and bought one of Dave's contactless PP.
I installed it, voltage output now nicely between 0.4V and 3.27V, so that is doing what it should do it seems.
But: the reset procedure does not seem to help. Idle position is good (as it was), but the pedal is more nervous than ever.
4 mm of pedal travel (0.6V output) lets the car rev to 4000 rpm, so it is really nervous.
Dave is really helpful in trying to find what is wrong, but so far we ( I at least) have run out of ideas.
It looks like the FT reset has no effect, have done it 6 times now, for 12 seconds (not 5) to be on the safe side. But no result.
So the reset thing looks to be not working. Anybody heard of that before, and knows what to do now?
I do not have access to a SD , and the nearest specialist is probably over an hour's drive from me, so I am really looking for things to check myself before I have to give up and try to book an appointment with one of the 2 or 3 specialists in the country (Netherlands)
