mstgofstr Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 My '07 Spec B throttle does not respond the first 1/4" its pushed. It makes the car very hard to drive smoothly. I just came back from a 2 week trip in Europe, drove a 6spd Mini while there, and really notice this dead spot more than ever now on my car. I have verified this with Romraider logger, no change in voltage or throttle angle % seen by ECU during the first 1/4" of travel. I looked at the internals, no adjustment, as it's a hall effect sensor. Is this typical for all of these cars? If so does the STi pedal respond any better? If it does, anyone know if it is a bolt on?

mstgofstr Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 The ECU doesn't see any voltage change from the pedal until I press it about 3/8", if the pedal was working, the voltage would change at the ECU, no? Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Since you have a specB where is your knob set to in terms of s s# etc? I know that has an effect on the throttle response. -Mike Paisan http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/145749898/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://www.whiteline.com.au/images/logos/perf1.jpg 11+ Years Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Subaru Enthusiasts.
