Default 52mm TPiS throttle body issues
1996 Vette, LT-4

Has anyone else had problems getting the TB to both reach 100% open and also return to idle? No matter what I've tried, I can only have one or another, not both.

There were no instructions, their phones are not working and no response to emails since Tuesday.

I can't really find anything online about adjusting the cable other than one single return about, "press the button". Then what?

I have manually adjusted the length and tried both cable options on the TB linkage. Im at a loss and supposed to be racing Saturday....

I don't want to have to put the stock TB back on but it's looking that way....

Why is that?

I only went with theirs because it was the most highly recommended!

i did a lot of research before buying one and finally ended up choosing a Holley 58mm
Couldn't be happier, after 10 years of use!

I had both Accell and Holley. Not sure if I noticed anything different

Poor customer service. They don't answer e-mails.

I read too many negative reviews on the Holley.

They have returned my calls and emails. The delay was due to their internet being down. Which isn't uncommon in their neck of the woods...

It's on the way back. They asked for pics and decided it looked like the throttle cam was clocked incorrectly.

Track day tomorrow, stock throttle body it is...
