Cheap Throttle modification
I was just searching the web and found a simple ( TIP / TRICK ) that improves the throttle fel - Basically you just run a length of wire from the battery ( ground ) to one of the small screws on the throttle body near the motor drive plate (left side) - It seems because it is mounted on a plastic manifold it has a poor ground - So, this gives it a better ground source and filters out interfearance from other electrical components - I figured what the hek and gave it a try on my V6 , It wasn't like night and day - But the throttle is much smoother and seems to down shift faster when I punch it with my automatic - Not sure if it would be as noticable on a manual car.
Probably the least expensive tip I have stumbled accross so far - I used some wire I had that was about 14 ga and to small eyelets - ( Less than a Buck ! )
