tyhackman15 August 18th, 2008, 10:05 PM So tonight i was driving on a country road and playing with my scanguage II, so out of curiosity i put it on TPS (throttle position sensor)
Came up to a stop sign, threw it in SST and gunned it. Never showed over 75?! :confused: Is the damn electric throttle that bad that you cannot go 100% throttle?
Oh, and it's a 2005 LS V8 sport.
Thanks,
Tyler
NYC LS8 August 19th, 2008, 07:30 AM I'll have to try that with mine and see what it says, just to compare.
MMAFIGHTER121 August 19th, 2008, 07:50 AM hm - sounds like something the tuners should be aware of..
owlman August 19th, 2008, 10:03 AM Maybe you could take off your intake and have a friend watch the throttle while you floor it, although I'm not sure if it will open fully in park/neutral.

3K rev limiter, shuts down the fuel.
owlman August 19th, 2008, 10:56 AM yes but will it close the throttle plate is the question.
NYC LS8 August 21st, 2008, 02:36 PM I went WOT real quick in my car last night and the ScanGauge showed 76 for the TPS. Couldn't keep on it because it wasn't a very long street, so.....that's my story.

97stscaddy August 21st, 2008, 05:51 PM Part of the reason Ill never own a car that has that, as long as I can help it. Ill trust the job of accelerating to my foot and my foot only.

My 06 F150 has it. It is definately not the same as having a throttle cable.
Probably a emission thing.

Me? Nah
Silver_LS August 22nd, 2008, 05:00 AM So how do we take advantage of that remaining 24-25% ???
owlman August 22nd, 2008, 09:32 AM Cut a hole in your floor so the pedal can go down farther... :lol:
02V8Sport August 22nd, 2008, 09:58 AM Must have been another one of Fords tactics, making the LS limited in power so it doesnt beat their sport car, The Mustang. HEHE!!
NYC LS8 August 22nd, 2008, 09:58 AM Maybe I'll ask ILLS if there's something that can be done in the tune..?
tyhackman15 August 22nd, 2008, 11:55 AM I was thinking rigging up some nice fishing line from my pedal to the throttle body.... bingo, direct connect throttle!! hahaha
xarruda89x August 22nd, 2008, 12:12 PM Cut a hole in your floor so the pedal can go down farther... :lol:
Genius. :p

TwansLS August 24th, 2008, 07:27 PM ...why???
n8bachelor August 25th, 2008, 08:58 AM What about those guys who run N2O? Don't they have to have WOT (TPS=100%) in order to activate the bottle? I know there are gen2 N2O guys on here.
TwansLS August 26th, 2008, 11:13 AM someone get to the bottom of this!! lol
Silver_LS August 27th, 2008, 08:28 AM Guess we'll never know :P
rainjacks August 27th, 2008, 08:40 AM Someone with a Gen 1 should open up the intake an manually pull the throttle cable to observe how far the throttle actually opens up (with the car off). Possibly the TPS just gives incorrect numbers. I'd volunteer, but I have a fantasy football draft tonight. That may not tell us much other than revealing if there is a physical stop before WOT. As for Gen 2 guys, I don't know if it will reveal anything.
owlman August 27th, 2008, 10:47 AM The scangauge manual says that on some cars full throttle will not read as 100 :shifty:
pagluy August 27th, 2008, 11:57 AM It's a conspiracy.
rainjacks August 27th, 2008, 12:41 PM If it a big problem for anyone just buy camthman's turbo setup. That will take care of it!
NYC LS8 August 27th, 2008, 12:44 PM It's just a way for the Gen I guys to feel good about having a motor that puts out less HP. Even though the Gen II cars at 75 percent throttle will smack a typical Gen I at 100 ;)
:p

VERY GOOD QUESTION....
the damn fly by wire wont open unless under a load in gear... damn neutral rev limiter.
so really there is no way to tell.. other then maybe on a dyno

:p
I'll let this slide since you said typical...:rolleyes:
NYC LS8 August 27th, 2008, 01:43 PM Exactly why I said it, bucko!

Bucko....What the he11 is a bucko? The thing at the end of a belt, or some kind of foriegn currency.
NYC LS8 August 27th, 2008, 02:21 PM Things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmmmmm :D
02LSE96LSC91SE84TC August 27th, 2008, 02:23 PM Or a KFC dinner. Bucko of chickooon.

Come on! We're friends here. There would be no such thing as a Gen 2 if it wasn't for the Gen 1. Make fun of ricers not us. :D

Unfortunately Gen2 owners think they are better than us. I agree same team but whatcha gonna do.
I'll take the throttle cable anyday.:D ;)

You and me both!!! TBW can lick my taint!
1LoudLS August 28th, 2008, 09:55 AM my 1st gen was a pretty cool car, but my 2nd gen is way better (except TBW) i mean the auto up front windows alone is worth the upgrade:)
pagluy August 28th, 2008, 10:55 AM Gen1 doesn't have auto windows in front? wtf
