Part of the traction control system. It closes the throttle when wheel spin is detected.

Nothing wrong with Traction Control...you just have to remember to switch it off before having fun!

Cool, I was wondering what that thing was. Would have made a nice location for the AMW can. It was crazy when I had the traction control on, playing in the snow, never had something like that. Being that it was like the car was shaking me off.

I'd be carefull before "ripping any sum bitches" from under your hood. You just might regret it. You could get the SLP !TCS mod and not have to **** with the stuff under your hood. Good thing my car came with no options, so I also do not have that shitty TCS.

if you yank that bitch out, i am pretty sure you won't have cruise control any more, and you have to get a different size throttle cable
