First, you can move the pedal faster than the little motor moves the throttle blade(s), I get that compaint all the time from guys trying to cut lights when foot brakingate model DBW cars. Not a method you would want to use with a "1.5 second delay off the top bulb. Guys need to understand that you can't just do that without a look-up table in the software for pedal response delay. (they do not exist in OEM ECUs) maybe with some aftermarket ECU, not the factory stuff. Getting a school kid to write something for a P.C. is one thing, a Ford, MOPAR or GM computer is another. Want to close the throttle at higher MPH or RPM? They do not contain look-up tables for that either. No look-up table for that? Then you can't make it do that. Guys throwing this stuff out obviously don't do this kind of work. I get some pretty silly requests, they seem to think it's the same as programming a P.C. No college or night writing an operating system for a Ford ECU so you could add all the look-up tables to do those things. Might get a Ford calibrator to have it done.
