15176, Gas pedal limiter?
Posted by pearlwhite2gnt, Feb-19-02 02:24 PM
I was installing my SAFC and I noticed a block undernieth the gas pedal. I removed it and the pedal Moved considerably farther. I got the afc hooked up and looked at the throttle and it said 100% floored with the block out, so it had to be reading a ways under 100 since there was a like 1 inch difference. Let me know if anyone has done this. I didn't notice much of a difference but a good Idea I thought.

as long as your throttle cable doesnt open the butterfly valve when not applyin pressure to gas peddle, and that it opens to completely horizontal or parallel w/ground at WOT or pedal to da floor, you shouldnt worry about whatever is behind it.

You could be over stressing the throttle cable and cause it to break which is a bad thing
