I have a Vitesse controller installed on my 2006 Base C6. This morning I pulled up to bank and noticed it said A20 instead of the normal sp2 that I keep it at. I pressed the button to hopefully bring it back to normal and the engine began accelerating all the way up to 5K before I turned it off. My foot was not on accelerator. I restarted car and it threw a code about throttle problem and restricted power. I reset engine code and now it seems fine. I should have saved CEL code but did not. I was in a hurry. Seems a little scary. What should I do?

Check with Ahmed at Vitesse, he is very knowledgeable.. The numbers will scroll as you drive, but the RPM increase sounds odd. I have never had a problem with mine. I keep mine on 8.

The A20 indicates 20% throttle application. It should only show this when you have the throttle pushed down; the SP6 only shows at idle or when you are coasting with no throttle pushed. It sounds like you may have had a glitch with the throttle position sensor. I'd suggest unplugging the Vitesse, plugging it back in, then recalibrating it.

Pull it out and throw it away.

I don't want to think about what would have happened if it was in drive and not park.

I pulled mine out after it caused my car to throw a p2138 code and entered reduced engine power mode.

Heh, interesting thread.

P2138 is the code I got too. Luckily I was parked with the clutch pushed down. I'll try pulling and re-calibrating. PIA though. It gets one chance. Then Ill do what Boomer said.

If this is more than one car where it's happened, and it seems to be, I can only wish that you don't run into or over someone or some thing.

Set it on the setting you like and leave it alone.
I dont mess with mine while driving. No problems here

Had mine for over a year and never an issue.

What was described here sounds scary.

Once is an anomaly, repeated issues a problem I guess.

I have a friend who put one of those in and it goofed his GS up with codes and other things...so he took it out...... no throttle mods for me.......

The only throttle controller I need is the one that most people call their right foot.

My foot is my throttle controller. These gimmicks are just that. Uninstall. Learn lesson.

I was getting an error code and going into reduced power on mine also. I never experienced any engine surge. I talked to Ahmed at Vitesse. My problems have been related to placement of the electronics box (not the remote controller). Mine was tucked behind some carpeting. I moved it to a more open area and the problems disappeared. They came back and I noticed that the box had moved. Once I secured it in a good spot, it has performed correctly.

It's a neat device when it works. No need for the high and mighty attitude. You'd be impressed if you drove a car with one I guarantee it.

Interesting. I had my box tucked under the center console above the torque tube tunnel and I wonder if my issues were heat related as well. I'll never know, but maybe his instructions should be updated so that people pick better spots for the box. I thought I was being pretty slick when I tucked where I did

My car also experienced the "reduced engine power" when I had the Vitesse installed. I removed it, sent it back to Ahmed, and no problems since. Just not worth the chance of something happening as in the op's experience.

I have absolutely no doubt that what you and dozens of other users say is true -- that it gets rid of the lag. The stock lag is real and it's annoying.

I've been hesitating buying the controller for two years now because the rocket-science era electronics on these cars scares me, and I'm more comfortable leaving well enough alone.

choppychop

Dozens?
Try hundreds or more.
A lot of people leave their Corvettes all stock,my daughters Camry is stock. so...there you go

Well I didn't take an official survey, just what I remember running across here.
