Just finished that exact setup earlier today. All I can say is people were not exagerating.
It's awesome!!! I think I'll do that mod too. I'm currently using a "spacer". But, if it
works similar to a "dimmer" switch...then by using the spacer method would be like
a light going from dark to medium dim instead of low dim to medium dim. Just like
the dimmer switch in my room right now. Tube's method is smoother.

Where is the spacer exactly? Edit - nevermind, read your earlier post.

Hmmm, I've been lurking in the backround all day in this thread. There is concern among some of a too sensitive throttle and perhaps running into someone or something like your garage. If there are 6 strips and the ECU takes the average of them, it would seem to follow that if you straightened only 3, you would have a near perfect setup and sensitivity, no?

If you're not comfortable with bending the wires, you could accomplish the same thing by:

- blocking the very end on the groove in which the white bracket that holds the wires rotates (red circle in picture) OR
- attaching some sort of solid spacer (plastic) in the area of the blue lines in the picture.

Either one of these options would accomplish the same thing - stop the white bracket from returning to it's original start position, thus moving the wires off the non-sensitive part of the strip. I also think that these are easier than bolting up some sort of spacer under the pedal.

I too was watching this all day. For the people concerned about running intosomethinglike your garage, or worse, somebody, is it really plausable to say this mod would increase your chances of that? I guess it just boils down to responsible driving, as in keeping your foot on the brake when starting out. But I don't see this mod making our cars a definate runaway. I personally feel I have a greater chance of being hit by a drunk driver in MI that this.

Anyway, just my .02, people may or may not agree with this. But I will be doing this mod Sunday.

im about to attempt this,,but do i make all of them straight?

MartyMoose

I did. All wires on all six wipers. Just have good, flat pliers (no teeth).

upon further evaluation.....the throttle is SUPER sensitive now......too sensitive....the "wrench" icon on my dash came on after driving it for like 20 mins...im going to take it apart tomorrow morning i think if i dont get around to it tonight......im thinking that not all the wires are completely flush with one another which is causing the sparatic pumps in acceleration when i'm holding a steady speed.......but you guys keep in mind i have the Rev 4 and i have had no complaints yet about the Rev 1 card yet

howarmat

Can you atleast go read the code that came with the light?

richmod

Yikes, that aint good. I had a rental Mariner this week while my stang was at the dealer that did that sporadic acceleration pumping - highly annoying. Wouldn't want that in the stang.

Perhaps I'll try one of the alternative methods I mentioned in my post above so I don't have to mess with the wires.
