Drive by Wire?

[SenorCole86]

Mmmk, so I've noticed that my recently acquired 6MT is drive by wire. I'm appalled. I noticed the horrible throttle response and decided to take a look under the hood to make sure and although there is a ridiculous amount of plastic covering the engine, I think I've determined that it is drive by wire (as far as throttle is concerned). Please let me know if I'm wrong. In my opinion, the problems everyone has been having with their clutches is not because of a high-engagement point, but a unresponsive throttle. Is there any way to convert the system to a cable and TPS system or increase the response of the existing system?

I don't mean to dog the car extra hard. I do love the vehicle to death, but there are always those little things that leave you thinking. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, have a good one.

Most if not all newer vehicles are drive by wire. It would be nearly impossible to convert because the ECU controls this parameter. There still is a TPS. There are ECU reflashes available @ technosquare that may cure the problem.

A few other things you may want to look into for improved throttle response are.

Grounding Kit and a Pulley set.

Not sure what clutch problem you are talking about... but you can adjust the engagement point if you don't like where it's set
