I'm only getting half throttle! Please Help!
 
this past weekend i took the car out (01 SS) and it felt terribly underpowered compared to normal. i got back to the house, and in neutral, i pressed the gas to the floor (which was somewhat difficult) and i could not even get the car to rev past 4500 RPMs. so i got under the hood, and accelerated the motor via the throttle body. full power. no problem. then i decided to turn the cruise control module. and again i only got about half throttle.

no new mods. i haven't messed with anything under the hood.

PLEASE HELP! i would like to be able to actually drive my car again soon. Thanks

Have someone floor the car with it off and see where the TB is opening to. Since it works fine when you manually crack the throttle, I'd imagine something is getting lost in translation.

check your throttle cable for slack/tension and also maybe check under the pedal make sure nothing is under there LOL, my buddy did that had a coke bottle lid under his pedal and he thought his car was dieing cause it only had 3/4 power lol
