[V8] kick down not working

[Peter Littlewood]

Hi All

 

I had come to the conclusion that the kickdown switch on the throttle cable isn't working.

ever since I've owned this car its always changed gear at 4800rpm in "E" and 5400ish in "S" no matter how hard you stamp on the pedal.

While its been off the road for 2 months having the heads sorted out, I've been driving another V8 whos' kickdown most certainly works!! 

I have found the switch at the end of the cable but the wires disappear behind all the insulation. Where do they end up? or what pin number on the ecu can I check?

 

Many thanks for those of you that offered advice with my head rebuild. Its all back together with no blue smoke anymore... but still no go!!
