Re: Throttle Performance Switch (sobrino)
Check the archives and do a search. Seems like there was a recent post on this topic. I have never used one and may be mistaken, but I thought the consensus was these weren't worth the money. Admittedly, I may be wrong. Others will hopefully add their experience.

Re: Throttle Performance Switch (sobrino)
This switch really work? :confused:
Does it make your car faster? No. All it does is trick the computer to think you are at WOT (wide open throttle) when your foot is only 75% down.
You want WOT performance for free? Mash the pedal to the floor.
I just saved you $100.

Re: Throttle Performance Switch (sobrino)
I bought one and it set a code 21. Sent it back for another and it too set a code 21. I even tried setting the TPS lower since mine is adjustable and I still got the high code. I ran across a 90 last year that was getting the same code with his Performance switch unit. His TPS is non-adjustable so either way it sucks!! After unhooking it and re-setting the compter the high codes were gone. I would NEVER recommend this junk to anyone!
