It appears I've found the manufacturer of the DBW circuit!

We should call them and see what they think about this brush bending.

This is just a guess but I would say theres a pretty damn good chance they will tell us to leave the circuit alone.

I was being sarcastic about calling them.....

LOL, how true. You are talking about a "supposed" problem with "some" S197s at IDLE. IDLE! Look it up brainiac. If you cannot get over this (what you call) "lag", then buy an electric car and tear up the highways.

As far as the supposed "Hater" haters go, get a life or keep chasing the lemmings over the cliff. More owners will read this and understand it's a crock than will actually do it and state that their n/a 4.0 feels like a supercharged GT. Internet forums DO NOT add RWHP. If you disagree, that's fine. But post some numbers up and back up your claims if this mod is "all that". Just trying to save some of you from forum-induced head-aches.

Mister Roper

Yeah, like getting advice in the LS1 owner section.

This fix has nothing to do with adding RWHP. it's about removing a dead zone in the gas pedel that some not all but some S197's have. this is a mod that is not recomended for all to do and may not be needed. but some of us have a dead zone in the gas pedel. now if you refer to the supensionthunking post on this froum you will see that it took frod a very long time to come out with a TSB to fix the problem. so if only a few of the people that have the gas pedel problem go to the dealers the will just say well it's normal.. BS it's not normal... i was starting to think about selling my car because of this problem but now i'm enjoying it after i did this fix.. now if more people come forward that have the problem then may be we can get ford to come out with a TSB that addresses the problem. but till then with my background in cars and computers if i can fix it on my own i will and if i have to go to the dealer to get somthing fixed then i will.. I just see any reason to knock Tube for starting a post that has help some of us with a gas pedel problem.

I guess some people are just d-bags who make it their goal to ruin everyone's day.

I did some more research, it appears only 07's and 08's have this newer "REV 1" board (which is actually newer than the "REV 4" board made by PVI. It also apears the board made by PVI didn't have any tolerance or dead space issures (my 06 explorer has the PVI "REV 4" board and it has no dead space) so this mod is really only good for those that have the "REV 1.0" circuit board.

This explains all the difference with some people having a huge dead space, and some not, etc...

This is good to know...I think you should maybe include some of the paint drawings that acrokat did and the finding about the 2 different boards on the front page post.....this is needed info and its 19 pages into the post....also posting the pics of the rev 4 and rev 1 board would be good too.
