Default tb bumstop mod.... OOPS!

well went a little to far. 4.72. its ok though i fixed it. i bent the tb cable cog(what ever you call it) and adjusted the lower idle screw.so now i read 4.66 open and .59 closed. if i really mash the pedal(standing on it)it goes to 4.692 so ill see how she does later. just thought id share!

You can also bend the cam tab a tiny bit to fine tune the voltage value. It's best to do more voltage checks with the DVM than grinding. Like the carpenter says "Measure twice, cut once". In this case it's check twice, grind once.
