One hint: make damn sure that the allen wrench you put into that little screw fits tight, because it does not want to turn, and you do not want to strip the head. Use a magnifying glass to determine that all of the epoxy is knocked off. Penetrating oil can help it to break free. When it moves, it will make a satisfying cracking sound and you're home free. I found that about one counterclockwise turn closes the butterfly enough to get a good stable idle. After I got mine where I wanted it, I simply put a little dab of clear silicone caulk to make sure it stays there.Quote:
My Yaris has always been slow to close (long throttle hang time) from the very first day I bought it brand new bone stock. I'd get one of those aftermarket throttle control thingies except there's no way to confirm if they will actually cause the butterfly to close faster than stock. So I've gotten used to compensating by letting off the gas first without touching the clutch pedal, waiting a beat, and then shifting. Greg |
