ls1 dbw working backwards

**Ron s** · 06-24-2010, 05:10 AM

Ok i have a question about dbw i installed a 2006 ls1 motor and 4l80e trans into my 1967 camaro i ran into many issues most are worked through the problem ime facing now is the throttle body is actuating backwards it closes wen i press the peddle and is wide open wen i let off dose any one have any ideas why this might happen

That sounds really strange. only think I can think of is that return spring is hooked up wrong or the cable cam is backwards. beyonf that its purely machanicel operation.

Its drive by wire (dbw)
Sounds like you just have the 2 motor wires backwards

i just found out that the place that programed my pcm programed it for a 2004 instead of a 2006 thay operate off a diffrent pedal i got the correct app pedal ime wateing on the wiring harness i will post the results soon.
it is a dbw system i tried to swap the motor wires but no luck the 2004 has 3 sensers in the pedal the 2006 has 2
