Governor
I recently purchased a 93 6 sp, I was taking it out yesterday to hammer on it a little and was surprised to find that it has some kind of governor on it. When I would try to nail it around a corner to do a 180, the throttle would kick back, it does the same thing when I tried to do a burnout, it will chirp, but the throttle will kick back. Question is what do I have to remove to "fix" this. Or is this just the way they are? Thanks for any help.

It's above the headlight switch on my 96. When you turn it off a light saying as much will appear in that center section where the rest of the trouble lights are...

ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) is ON by default. Everytime you start the engine, you will have to hit the ASR button to turn it off.
The ASR system gets data from a lateral accelerometer located just in front of the A/C controls and from the vehicle speed sensors at each wheel. If ASR sees a value out of range, it will either retard engine timing, close the throttle (the pulsation you felt) or apply light brake pressure at the rear wheels or do all of them.
The only real "governor" in the car is a fuel pressure cutoff that is determined by engine RPM. On my 92, if the engine hit 5850 RPM in any gear, the fuel pump relay would cycle the fuel pump off and on until the RPM's dropped a bit.
