WOT switch
Kenn Thyrsted wrote about his "wide open throttle" switch. . .
Note:
If yours is truly one of the european versions it is very different from the USA version.
The throttle switch may only activate the solenoid on the firewall that bypasses the warm up air valve on the head to provide fuel enrichment under boost and cold running. Boost is not controlled by the throttle switch like it is here.
If your switch has 100 ohms resistance you are missing out on the added fuel enrichment.
In the North America the switch in connected to the computer to control both the boost pressure and fuel enrichment. When our WOT switches go bad, and incidentally the throttle switch is combined into one unit with the idle switch, the car is a dog.
