ECM strategy is to give throttle a 4 volt band to play with. Wherever the starting point is, +4 volts higher is WOT. It automatically changes its expected values depending on the start point, therefore rendering "adjustment" pointless. It looks for starting values from 0.4 to 0.9. Wherever it is, add 4 volts and you have WOT. Doesn't matter.

Well take your stock mustang and set the voltage to .4v then set it to .9 and see how differently it acts, you arent changing anything just getting closer to the 1v mark where the ecm goes into driving mode and not idle? Am i crazy or what? Especially on sn95 5.0s they get really sloppy the farther away from .9v you get. Please explain this?
Had 1 bout 3 months back wouldnt idle, if you kept the throttle open it would run but asa you let off it would die soon after, after about 2 days of checking this and that, and no, there werent any codes, the idle voltage was .426v koeo adjusted to .998 the only change and everything went away the car is running great still today.
Maybe it just gave up and fixed itself???

that car is badass, im gonna be a bit putting mine in. I bought a 1991 rx7 to donate the 306 from my fox to, so i gotta get that done first. should be a total bastard of an install, but the car will double in value, so then i basically get a free motor. And free is well within my price range.
