The hits just keep on coming. LOL

Just amazing how they insist on re-engineering stuff to the point where nothin' works. Makes me appreciate our old stuff that works and runs.I sure enjoy those electronic gas pedals when the t.p.s. switches on the throttlebody and the gas pedal argue, and you get reduced power and you can get out and walk faster than you can drive.John Kissel

Coworker says his Harley is doing the "no throttle" electronic dunce.

My piece of junk 2010 Corvette has the lag in the go pedal also. The Vette Catalogs have a fix for it (for over $300) but why in the hell dosent Detroit make it work right in the first place. I will NEVER buy a new one again. Give me a 66-67 or a pre 1971 muscle car instead any day. At least I can take one of the old vettes apart and put it back together blindfolded ! The new junk is CRAP and its almost impossible to work on ! Even the dealerships cant fix'em. Thank goodness my Harley has a carb and a cable throttle.

Gosh! I thought it was just ME!! The old nerves connecting the head bone to the knee & foot bones not working. I never realized it was actually the truck that wasn't working right.

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

I often can not get that throttle response quick enough to suit guys. There are tables in the calibration controlling that, but maxed out it will never feel like a cable operated throttle.
If you race one like that, with a couple of key strokes you can limit how far it opens.
Electronic throttle stop. Set it to whatever % opening you want to slow it down to work the AHFS.

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

Ed, :eek: Are you giving away your secrets about your throttle stop? ;~)

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

Mine has a cable.
Not admitting to anything else. LOL

It has to be getting embarrassing for them. Hard to not smile. LOL

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

Electronic throttle is junk. You never take off the same way twice and if the tires spin the traction control kills the engine. Not a good feeling when a car is coming up behind.
Used to be nice with a throttle cable you just lifted the gas pedal a little and kept going.

That's why we've always said to keep your GM car running right keep it all Motorcraft ;)

Nothing wrong with the Camaro switches...it's just the placement. The Cobalt switches could not tolerate the 5 pounds of crap many people commonly attach to their key ring.

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

The last recall is a total joke. I have a 2014 Camaro 1LE SS, and I physically cannot hit the key with my knee, no matter how I try. You basically have to adjust the wheel so it is right in your lap, by either telescoping it all the way out, or moving the seat way up. Then you have to take your right foot way up off of the gas pedal, and catch the key just right with your knee, causing it to turn.

So, this begs the question..................why would you ever be behind the wheel of a car while it is in motion, and proceed to take your right foot way up off of the gas pedal? Sometimes these "recalls" are just attempts at preventing some frivolous lawsuits that are bound to happen by money grabbing idiots all over.

Maybe part of the factory race car package should be a real gas pedal with a cable to the throttle body. Considering they are deleting the IRS and installing Powerglides, this part should be easy.

All COPO's and CRC cars are cable driven Throttle bodies.

No DBW!:D

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

Our stuff got cables. We have broke several cables (as probably most of us have), and according to my shop folks, we seldom replace a DBW module. NHRA has allowed all the new cars to replace throttle bodies that are DBW only with a same size cable operated TB. My 74000 lb, 1650 Torque, large bore motor home has DBW, Traction Control, & all the other goodies. Go Figure.

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

Interesting Jeff,
It is the swaged end coming off the cable or is it on the equipment end?
Have pulled thru a few plastic attaching parts.

(Do you slam the pedal to the metal often on the motor home?:-)

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

Bobby, it is the part under the hood, whichever that may be. Broke both the V8 and V10 cables.

New Recall: If your Chevy has a steering wheel...it's recalled!

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

My cousin (who was die hard dodge, then went gm and is now getting ready to go ford) has the recall and it's saying any weight on the keyring causes it to pull/twist whatever and break stuff inside. The "shutting it off with the knee" thing is gm trying to blame the drivers like toyota did with the "mat is causing the sticking throttle" issue.

It's an easy fix, take the key out, hand it to a ford salesman, drive away in a new ford...FIXED! LOL!!!

Re: I wonder if this includes COPO's? LOL
 

Then have a dodge tow Truck come pick u up! All the same crap now! Couldn't resist!
