Now that you mention it the pedal felt a bit off. If it's hanging up, what to do. Never had that problem before.Next time it hangs pull the throttle cable connection forward (closed) to tell if the throttle body is hanging or something else is happening.
Went on a couple of QC drives after adjusting the idle to factory with spout connector out.
Would it achieve the same thing if, while driving, I use the top of my foot to try and pull the gas pedal towards me or are there too many variables between the accelerator pedal and the TB connection?Next time it hangs pull the throttle cable connection forward (closed) to tell if the throttle body is hanging or something else is happening.
Agreed. Could've been really scary if it hung at a higher RPM. Anyhow, I don't expect any extra HP. I only replaced because the original TB spacer was all clogged up inside, and I thought, "replace it with a part useful in the future."That's kind of scary!
Great news that you found the root cause. Thanks for following up with the source of the problem. Hopefully the replacement part gets your car back to normal + a couple HP. =)
That isn't the first time I've see that with bbk, seen more the a few even snap the throttle shaft. honestly hate the majority of there products.. used to stick to Old ford racing or Accufab for throttle bodies, these days thought the cheap billet flea bay china 75mm works well for sub $100 if but most don't have an intake large enough for one and they don't include an egr spacer.UPDATE: Turns out the throttle body was defective. The casting inside the body wasn't even and the buttlerfly would get stuck on the bad casting spot after passing it from WOT. Apparently, the cast wasn't bad enough to cause a permanent stick, but enough to hold it open for a bit. Getting a replacement TB. Thank you for all the help.
Thank you! And, great signature.Good deal, glad you got it run to ground and at least they are sending you a new one and the sticking point was 2k and not wide open.
Hope with the new install you can put this issue to bed. Thanks also for the follow up post and resolution. Good stuff.
Awesome scripture passage in your signature also!Agreed. Could've been really scary if it hung at a higher RPM. Anyhow, I don't expect any extra HP. I only replaced because the original TB spacer was all clogged up inside, and I thought, "replace it with a part useful in the future."
I am glad it’s going. The only problem I have heard about BBK (and some other aftermarket TB) is whistling when the IAC is open. Mine whistles an in tune F#, and I do not mind it with as loud as the car already is.Last update: swapped on another BBK 65mm TB w/a Motorcraft TPS. Everything runs completely fine. Thanks again, guys!
