Tranny Swap, Throttle Resp/ECU Question??? Please Help
I just had my tranny swapped from a auto to a manual and my ecu was reflashed. I now noticed that my car is driving like it has only 2 cylinders and it is very very slow like it has no power at all. I have and 07 with about 500 rwhp (procharger).
When the car is off, the throttle body works fine, but when you turn the car on, the throttle body only opens a quarter of the way. Can anyone help me with this.

all i know is that these throttles even if you push all the way down, wont open to 100% if its more efficient (and it usually is) at a different opening, 96-97% so i dont know whats up with your car but mabye its sensing that thats the proper ammount to open, possibly from a bad tune since u did have your ecu reflashed.... Since no ones replied i figured id throw this one out there for you to start to take a look at

Cant answer your question, but Its probaly the computer.
My question to you is your 500rwhp and you went to a 5 speed? I am doing a stroker kit in a month and have a turbo now and I know once I get above 500rwhp were going with an Auto setup. My experience with High Hp cars is that auto work out 10x better once your above 500rwhp.Anyway hope you get your answer! good luck

might be easier to just get a computer from a stick car. I'm sure somone out there has a totaled 05 5spd. OR have the car retuned on a dyno?
EDIT* Actually just remember something. Check your spark plugs. They could be burnt to hell if they arent the correct ones which would lead to a total and complete lack of power.
