Hot Pedal Mod
Somebody within the last couple of weeks performed the "HOT PEDAL MOD"

PROBLEM:

here is the stock stop. its just a pin with a peened over end. Grind off the end and remove the rod
After removing the stock stop I replaced it with I think a 6mm bolt and double nutted it. If you still need more voltage from the TPS you can grind a notch in the bolt or hog out the holes and mount the bolt farther out. Just don't got over 4.7 volts on peak TPS voltage or you set a CEL.

The ground I think if for some of my gauges. I can't remember.
The mod allows more voltage to the PCM from the TPS. Up to 4.7 is ok. Many stock pedals only get around 4 volts so in theory this will give you more throttle on the top but I don't feel much difference. Just makes me feel better knowing I am getting everything possible.
The normal method is the reposition the TPS but this also changes the low (idle) voltage as well which can result in a very touchy throttle. Moving the stop take away the possibility of messing up the TPS

TJ. your losing me. Bending that tab so that the throttle doesn't have to travel as far to get the micro switch to activate can/will raise the voltage?
Tell me where I'm wrong, please.
