Right…..update

Picked her up today with the new ecu and now tuned on the throttle position sensor (TPS) and with the addition of the cam sensor and water temp sensor.

Difference is a revelation to how she was running on MAP…TPS much better. Very smooth transitions so far but driven back in Storm Bert so further experimentation when the weather improves

I can just sense the oversize 45's when pottering but it is predictable and actually in this short test drive home popping into a higher gear masks it even more

Anyway, this sort of thing is not cheap but I am very pleased with how it’s turned out

Thats great news.

I have been putting my +2 EFI system properly together the last couple of days. Testing the injectors is next. Going the very cheap syringe method for that.

All the best

Berni
Also have some +2's

I have a similar issue of too much throttle area and touchy at small openings. I went from a single 70mm throttle body down to a 65mm and lengthened my accelerator pedal to give more travel. Adding more pedal travel helped the most. I run a DBW pedal and don't remember how the stock pedal works but with a cable, it should be easy to change the attachment point and get more travel.

Clifton, 
Brilliantly elegant solution that completely slipped my mind.  Thank you for the idea.
