throttle body won't open all the way 1 Attachment(s) I got an ls6 intake and a ported and polished 85 mm tb, after install the blade won't touch the bump stop. There's about a 1/2 in space between the blade and the bump stop. And the throttle cables has been adjusted (tsc car ) . Any Idea how to fix? I need to get it fixed by Friday for the races. |
Will it go WOT by hand without the cable attached? If it will and it is a cable placement issue. All you can do is adjust the cables or notch the bolt hole in the bracket and slide the bracket back. |

My Bad , only one position. Did you adjust both cables ? One goes into the tcu, One comes out. |
You may have to bend the arm on the gas pedal to get enough cable draw. I did, and on another local dude's car he couldn't get past 85% TPS until we did it to his. With everything adjustable, adjusted. You could do the same with spacers too, but it's two bolts, two minutes and a piece of pipe in the bench vise. Now I also ran into the TCS "gizmo" limiting the draw when I swapped up to a 85mm TB, and at that point the throttle & cruise cables I swapped to non-TCS to bypass that mess. |

ya thats normal and a good hp gain for the money you can actually file down the bump stop to get the blade to open full as its only open about 90% whenit hits the factory bumpstop. anyway with that said you should have no issue with adjusting that tention. have you adjusted both cables leading to and from the tcs box |
We adjusted one if them the day we changed the intake and tb out, but I'll try adjusting the other one. And I might just bend the gas pedal to compensate for th slack |
