TPS% problem
I have a problem with my throttle. When I press the gas pedal to the floor, it only goes to 85%.
When I go under the hood and open the throttle manually there, I am able to get it to go to 100%.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and fixed it? Any help is appreciated. Maybe this is why I'm only running 13.7s in the 1/4 mile.

I don't think that is the problem as it goes to 100% correctly under the hood, but the gas pedal doesn't open it more than 85%. I'm suspecting there is a possible adjustment to take up slack in the cable.

It was the slack in the cruise control cable. I adjusted it with the inline adjuster on the cable from the cruise module to the throttle body, and I can get 100% throttle from the gas pedal now. Originally Posted by 35thAnniZ28

I can't wait to tune it with the WB O2.
