Re: Throttle switch update addition

<< It is imperative that at least the full throttle portion of the switch 
 works. On our cars under the full boost this switch, when closed by your 
 foot, basically tells the ECU to screw the maps and to kick in the max fuel 
 enrichment to maintain the optimal air/fuel ratio. If the switch fails to 
 close the circuit, you will enter the fuel starvation mode under full boost,

 which leads to detonation (dont expect to hear it - it will be muffled by 
 the whining turbo/exhaust). Fuel starvation is the second quickest way to 
 kil >>
Great tech post Igor...   BTW, if you get more than 3 ohms resistance on the
full throttle switch you are not getting a clean signal to the ECU for
WOT.....
