RE: DIY THROTTLE RESPONSE MOD (MUST SEE!)
When trouble shooting problems the key element is finding the root cause and fixing it. IMHO the root cause is the stopping point of the pedal at idle.Tube’s clever idea of bending the brushes corrects the problem in a secondary way but is not fixing the root cause.
My April 10, 07 build car does not have the problem but if it did I think I’d make Ford fix it. From the responses on the thread there are many cars do not have the problem so Ford should be able to provide a throttle assembly that works correctly.

Geez. This place has got to be the "Jerry Springer" of all mustang forums out there. Pathetic.
This is the best tech yet on this crappy board and people want to bash the guy who started it.
Any wonder why a bunch of us moved away?
Adios.

^ i gotta wonder what happens when/if the tape comes loose. could it wedge in there and keep the pedel pressed down? this seems the easiest, but the allen headed bolt actually seemed like the safest idea, and tubes idea definately deserves kudos for him figuring it out.

But, yeah, you're right. I haven't found a single reason for anyone to haveflamed/bashed Tube or his mod. And what's wrong with Springer? That show is the bomb sometimes, man! C'mon, you gotta admit it![sm=icon_rock.gif]

Low cost FI = leafblower strapped to the inlet tube and extra lengths of power cord. Voilla/enjoy.

RE: DIY THROTTLE RESPONSE MOD (MUST SEE!)
I would agree with 8178A, this is an issue that the warranty should take care of. I never once said it was bad idea I said 6 poeple doing it doesnt make it sucsessful and I still believe that. I did say however that the risk is not worth the reward and that has been strengthened by the warranty comments made above. If you have the background and want to do it great go for it(I believe I something to that affect too). If your car is stock and a dealer finds out youhave done this your warranty is most likely toast. Most dont care much about that as we mod our cars anyways. I didnt bash anyone I just dont think this a mod for just anybody and if asked I wouldnt recommend it but rather would say take it to the dealer since you do pay for that 3yr 36k warranty.

So which mod did you do and why did you have to re-do it?

Why couldnt you get a secondary alternator attached to your drive belt that serves to power a high output electric turbine. You could take it a step further and use a bigass Capacitor to assist in powering the turbine. Think about it, boost only when you want it.
