Well approximation, I've been experimenting to see where I can get it to drop down - and it's just a bit over 60.


I see, is this pulling the gear lever down to first? or just flooring it?

if I floor it at that speed in economy, drops to second... in power, it will drop at just under 60 in my car... I guess I might have a loose acceleration cable or something... :roll:

Cheers

You should have just under 1v with the throttle closed and 4.6-5.0 volts at WOT.


Thats the one.

After an engine exchange in my EB, somehow the TPS input got hooked up to a constant 5v. This resulted in the car refusing to shift 1->2 until redline, and same for 2->3 and so-on. Made for a VERY interesting test drive :) We assumed the box was rooted, but after some fiddling I realised what had gone wrong :D

Maybe you guys who wanna peak your stock i6's can hook up a switch with 12V to the TPS input on the ECU :)


Thats interesting as EECIV ECU's go into CFM on crank with TPS voltages above approx. 4.75v.
Its a wonder it even started.
