Do it! And please let us know how it goes for you.
Remember, you only have to grab the end of the brush, and squeeze it in the tip of your pliers to remove the sharp bend from it.

Tube, this looks like a great way to eliminate dead space in the initial response, and electronically it makes sense. Does this also help with the lag in decrease of rpms (dashpot? I think it's called?) Having the rpms hang up high is driving me nuts as well, and it is not clear to me on the video or from comments if the rpm return lag is helped by this. Can you or someone comment on this? Thanks.

get a new throttle. But wait, there is a 4 week backorder
on that part........
If I messed mine up, it would be walkin time to the stealership.
I wanted the reliability. Future posts down the road -
I did the throttle bend mod and it screwed up at the worst
time........ raining, date, had to be at work on time, etc.

I read somewhere that the hang was built in to our cars in order to assist in emmisions.

Then head to the dealership when it all goes to s$it and
get a new throttle. But wait, there is a 4 week backorder

What is there to screw up, other than longevity which has yet to be proven or disproven. Taco Tube did it and it was fine. Help me understand.

I doubt that the 2 problems are related. the only way the hang in RPMs coulbe the result of this circuit would be if the pedal did not return immediatly when you stopped pressing on it. The hang is more likely built into the ECU.

I believe so. Had a Ranger and an F150 that hung. No amount of wd40 solved it.

It grew fast, didn't it! I feel special. Lol.
I don't get what the deal is with the haters though... I'm just trying to help people, and some people just keep giving negative comments[>:]
Anyway, there doesn't seem to be any possible way for this to cause any sort of damage or failure down the road, we are simply moving a brush, not doing anything drastic.
This doesn't help with the dashpot thing, that's purely an ECU issue keeping the throttle open while coasting for emissions kind of thing. Thats something you can tune out.
But the deadspace isn't something you can tune out, and is a clear mechanical problem.

Trust me there are plenty of ways for people to mess this up....I am sure someone will kill a couple of those wires
I already ordered a new one to do the mod on, but i do want to see others repsonses when they do this
