Default Re: 75% throttle limited

Not inside the TB, only the connection to it. You'll have three or four terminals on the TB side, you'll need to check between two of them, and you'll know which ones because you'll get a reading as you open/close the butterfly. Move the one probe to the next terminal in line and test again till you have it.


edit: I should stipulate, you'll be moving the butterfly yourself with your fingers, the TB will be disconnected and there's no need to have the key on. It's all powered down at this point.


I have a similar problem with a Honda Civic only it's dead at 20% and back at say 30% when using an OBD2 adaptor. Checking it at the TB it shows an Ohms reading then open circuit then back to a reading. Just verifies the issue is with the TB and not the pedal sensor.


The symptom is minimal, thankfully, only showing up more with the A/C on and typically two or more occupants, so a bit of load on the engine. At least this is at a lower rpm and I can 'drive around it' so to speak.
