Throttle Position Issues... Hey guys, for some reason I'm having Throttle Position issues...
I was re-looking my HPT logs tonight and I noticed that on every WOT run I only get about 85% TPS. I know my floor mat wasn't in the way and I'm on my way outside now to double-check for anything that might catch on the throttle action under the hood at all, but I'm pretty sure it was clear the last time I opened the hood. I think this could account for my dismal 1/4mi times and low dyno #'s, too.
Do ya'll have any fix suggestions?
Thanks!

ok, I went out and checked the physical travel of the throttle and it's only opening about 85%. This would explain a whole lot...
Is there any way to adjust this? It's about 15 to 20% of the way from hitting the bump-stop on the throttle-body itself so I think grinding that would be somewhat useless at this point.
How do you adjust the throttle cable?

There are adjustable clips in the middle of the throttle cable. You unclip the cable, don't try to remove the clip, and they will slide in and out of each other. move the cable where you need them to be and push the clip back on, the clips don't come off they just unclip and stay together as one unit still attached to the cable, I found it faster to have someone depress the gas pedal from inside the car while I adjust the cable.
