Just a quick question or two...
I resync'd the TBs a few days ago (to fix a slight surging problem) and ended up with an idle problem. I looked last night and realized that something was clearly wrong. Turns out the floor mat had ridden up under the pedal and I didn't get them quite sync'd right. So I did it again and everything appears to be working properly.
My question, however, is how this is supposed to be done. Right now, there seems to be a tiny dead zone just off pedal neutral position. Before, if I barely touched the gas, it would be plenty for parking lot maneuvers. Not so now, almost as if the ratchets are pushed too far in and there's some slack in the throttle cables.
So the procedure as I understand it: Open hood. Depress button on side of TB, pull cable towards rear of car. Repeat for other TB. Get in car, depress gas to floor until you hear TB adjustors properly ratchet in to place. Turn car on (but don't start), depress gas a few times for ECU to relearn TB range. Crank car and enjoy a smoother-running engine.
Any problems with any of that? Hopefully I'm not doing something dumb?
