Cable driven throttle body on 2007 1NZ?

All I can say is drive an ECHO. It doesnt need tweaking.

I liked my Echo much more than I like my Yaris.

Man, I totally understand...

I went from a cable operated throttle body on my 1996 Tacoma (just like the Echo) to the drive by wire on my 2012 Tacoma and the difference is night and day. I really miss the immediate positive linearity of the old cable system. And it was immediate in both directions on and off the pedal.

My throttle controller really minimized the lag to the point that it's basically imperceptible... Plus I get to increase said lag to help with fuel economy when the tank's almost empty.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for trying out new things... But is it really better not to have the option to adjust throttle response based on different conditions?

Does it also minimize the lag when you let off the throttle? Do the revs drop off quickly? I might go for one if it did that.

Ya know, I haven't paid attention to that part. I might be able to figure out how to measure it, though...

I second how throttle controller, really minimizes throttle lag, its near instantaneous, and the option to make it MORE laggy for mpg concerns is good too.

However, not to knock throttle controllers, my NTD one developed "Limp mode" issues, and throwing CEL for like throttle position voltage too low or something along those lines, meaning the car, just says, "throttle is giving weird signals, better just disregard what its tell the engine to do" Least limp is much safer than uncontrolled acceleration.

That doesn't really answer my question, though... Have you tried a throttle controller on your Yaris yet?

Oh no I havnt.

Im strictly a stock owner.

No springs, mags, turbos or sway bars for me!
